Week 10 Term 1

This week has been full of learning as we are going on camp next Wednesday. In tech arts, science, we made soap and I learnt about solidification, condensation, sublimation, etc and how they change from a solid to a liquid and a liquid to a gas. We also made a formula with 100 mls of wood glue, 100mls of cold water and then you stir that together and then you add hot water and it becomes a gooey dough. Through that process, I also learnt about how to use a beaker properly. For writing, we have had to choose a place that is easy to describe in a 15 minute time frame to write about. In this peice of writing we are learning how to eliminate all of our to-be words and boring verbs to make our writing more interesting. For reading, we have read, 'The Monkeys Paw,' and we have had to answer simple questions in detail to classify our reading groups. I got three questions half right because I only half explained those questions, but I got the rest correct. For maths I am i the top group for geometry. I have learnt about angles from transversals and it was a bit confusing at the start, but now I understand. In French, we are still learning the animals. Une souris (mouse), un vache (cow), un cheval (horse), une perruche (parrot/bird), un lapin (rabbit), un mouton (sheep), un cochon (pig), une poisson rouge (goldfish), un chat (cat), and un chien (dog).
