This week in Maths we have been learning about Place Value and Number. We played a fun game called, 'Salute.' We were in groups of three and one person was the adjudicator and the other two people were playing the game. When the adjudicator said "Salute" they then told the players what the two cards added up to. Player 1 would look at Player 2's card and then work out the difference to add up to the total number and guess their number. We also played the game using subtraction as well. Then we played 'Rock and Roll Place Value' where we had to roll 6 dice each and then place the numbers into the highest 6 digit number possible. The person with the highest number then played the next person and so on.

Yesterday afternoon, we played Rugby with Tom. We played lots of games and learnt lots of new skills. We had lots of fun learning this and enjoyed Tom teaching us.

In Religion, we have been writing about our family traditions and telling some funny stories.

In Integrated Studies, we have been learning about Earth's Place in Space. We did an experiment to test the energy of the sun. We put a thermometre in a cup of water and put it in full sun for 10 minutes and one in the shade for 10 minutes. We tested the degrees of both experiments. Our results showed, that the outside temperature was 31'C and it took 22 seconds for the temperature to rise 1'C in full sun. It took 25 seconds for the temperature to rise 1'C in the shade.
