Newspaper

This week we have been creating Newspaper articles, I found this challenging when the website we were using keep blocking out what I was writing. So then I changed to make it on a doc but I found that challenging as well because on docs you cant use text boxes and so the text kept going all over the place and I couldn't make it look like a newspaper.

This is what we had to have:

• Heading 
• Sub-Heading 
• Picture
• Caption under picture
• Quote
• Two Pages 
• Add  

Here is my Newspaper:

I would like your feedback about the layout of the Newspaper and what I could do to improve it!

Converting Percentages/Decimals and Fractions

Last week in maths we looked at converting Percentages, Decimals and Fractions.

I found it hard at first but when Mrs Taylor gave me this diagram-

It made it easier to understand. 

The Different lines show what to do with converting, for example:
If I was converting a Decimal into a Percentage I would times the decimal by 100 and it would give me my percentage.

And if I was converting a percentage into a fraction I would just put the percentage over 100 and it makes the right fraction.

The one that I was stuck on was converting decimals to fractions but then I understood, you need to take the numbers after the decimal point and depending on how many there are and where they are after it, you either put them over 10,100,1000...


I hope this helped you!
