Week 5 Term 3

I am so glad that speeches and cross country are nearly over! For cross country we have been practicing for the past three weeks and the track is about three kilometers. In tech arts I have nearly finished my bag and when I'm finished I can take it home. Instead of three different coloured hearts I'm just having a black letter A. In french we are learning everything that you would find in a pencil case like une caulculatrice (caulculator), une trousse (pencil case), une goumme (eraser), un stylo (pen), un feutre (felt), un crayon (pencil), etc. We have also learnt a bit of algebra because it's the last week of learning it. We have learnt how to use backtracking to solve equations, for example ... 3x-5=28. Since you going backwards you need to everything else backwards, so 3x = 28+5, 3x divided by 3= x, so 33 divided by 3= 11. The answer is x=11. We had also learnt how to find the unknown in more difficult equations, for example ... 4x =12, 4 x ?= 12, the answer would be 3 because 4 x 3=12.
