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!

The First Hippo on the Moon

This week is Hooked on books week! Everyday we have been reading a new book to go in our class library, on wednesday we had The first Hippo on the Moon by David Walliams. One of the activities we had to do with this book was we had to learn about the different animals that have been in space and this is what I came up with:



I think Hooked on books week worked really well and I would highly recommend it for your school! 

BEDMAS

For the past two weeks we have been looking at BEDMAS.

I found it difficult at the start but then once Miss Taylor explained it again I understood it.

 My next steps is to learn how to use BEDMAS with square roots.

 I created this video to help people understand BEDMAS better, please leave a comment about BEDMAS and if the video helped you understand it better.
