In maths we have been working with the concept of scale. We started with a small map and then transposed it onto a large grid making the scale 3 to 4 times larger than the original. The pictures show the results of our work. Can you tell which is the original map?
Today at school we participated in RED (Read Every Day). We did this by spending 1 hour this morning just simply reading. We used our reading area, our quiet room and anywhere we felt like sitting to read. We read all sorts of things, magazines, books, ebooks and comics. We read in class everyday at the start of the day for 20 minutes.
We have been very busy in Science and Technology over the last term researching, designing, building, testing, modifying and critiquing our catapults. A big thank you to the mums and dads that helped build these catapults. There was mixed degrees of success with only a couple being accurate enough to hit the target. We were all able to discuss our catapult and identify the successful aspects and those that will need further modification. We had a great time designing, building and testing our catapults.
