Pilot Whales

Today in Literacy I learnt that long finned pilot whales live in the colder temperature of the southern ocean close to New Zealand and that short finned pilot whales live in warmer temperatures like tropical and sub-tropical zones. 

In maths we learnt how to make a graph using google sheets.

Something I struggled with today was using google sheets to make a graph . 

Something I would like to find out more about is why so many whales are being stranded.

Camp 2019

The highlight of my camp was the first time I went down the
slippery water slide I sat at the top and cold water sprayed at
my face. I slipped  down super fast and touched the bean
bag on my first try. 

My other highlight of camp was playing at the beach and  digging holes in the sand and making gigantic sand castles. It was fun making a bridge across the creek so we could cross to the other side.

Maths strategy's

We are learning to use different strategy's to solve subtraction and addition equations.

Can you explain how you have learnt your new knowledge?

I have learnt how to use new strategy's like splitting strategy and rounding and compensating on our class site to solve new equations .

What other ways could you practice your new learning?

using the class site to learn new strategy's for harder equations.

How would you teach your new knowledge to another learner?

showing them our class site and examples.
