Maths Lesson :
Mangahigh -Order Fractions and Equivalent Fractions.

This task was easy and hard at points , the easy part was putting the angles in the right place and the Hardest part was probably Moving on to Extreme and working out Problems instead of Knowing the answer straight away. I could work better on using different ways to getting a answer to a question quickly.

I learnt the most when we were doing English skills . Our topic (Task) was "Past tense" . In this we had to re-write sentences as if they happend in the past. And we also had to Switch around words , and put them "Ed" or "De". To make them sound like they happend in the past. I didn't do anything wrong in this task.

Maths Blog Wk 1- T2

A Maths Lesson I learnt the most in was probably the task in our Maths books, Mostly because I learnt something about the Mathmatical signs and Renaming the numbers. The easiest part of this task was using the signs and using them to tell between which number is bigger. The Hard part of this lesson was our second  task which was using all the Maths Signs ( x,-,+) and Divison. We had to make equations that equalled a specific number.

Market Day-WK7

Market day:

Ana-Zariya & Ama

Positive: 
The positive side about Market day was how organized majority of the stalls were. 
I was mostly impressed by the Room 4 girls whose idea was nice and small - Popcorn with chocolate syrup, M&M and malteasers as topping. One of the mothers of the girls in their group had helped them hire a real proffesional Popcorn maker and the earned way more than they had targeted. I was also really impressed by the effort and the creativity of each group. There were some incredibly smart people to use their talents. Some cut peoples hairs, some painted peoples nails and some even specialized in making slime and it actually sold out. Though my group didn't earn a lot of money I was so proud of my friends stalls and other classes ideas.

- Ama

Negative:
The negative thing about market day was that some stalls ran out of specific and that some teachers had to run back to the supermarket to get it. Or the group had to cancel that "Meal" for the customors. Another negative was that some products didn't look or tatse like it looked like in the Advertisement or even took a long amount of time to be ready.
