Week 4 Term 3

This week we have learnt a lot... again. For maths we have learnt how to write algebraic expressions, how to simplify them, and how to find, group, and simplify like terms. To write algebraic expressions you get questions like, the sum of 3 and A is what, the answer would be 3+A because sum means addition. To simplify expressions you would get questions like, a+a+a+a+a+a+a+a, you are just simplifying it so the answer would be 8a ( 8 x a ). To find, group, and simplify like terms you would get questions like ,2mn+3f+5mn+7f, you would need to find the like-terms of all four numbers and those would be 2mn+5mn and 3f+7f. After that you then need to simplify the like-terms to get the answer so the answer would be 7mn+10f. Yesterday all of the year sevens in our class said there speeches and all of the year eights in our class said them on Monday. I was really nervous for mine yesterday but I ended up doing really well. Out of 14 people I got top four and am now in the class finals. Mrs Crowe videoed us and are now in the student shared folder. It was so scary! For cross country I have ran 22.8 km and have ran the whole way. In total I have ran half a marathon which is 21.1 km and a marathon is 42.2 km and I'm trying to reach a marathon. In tech arts we have started making bags. The design I chose is white and it has a shoulder strap and a flap that covers the top. The pictures I chose was three different coloured hearts on the flap, and I am looking foward to finishing it tomorrow.
