Division and Multiplication Posters

Today for maths we wrote word problem posters themed around airports. We made 3 stories for Multiplication and 3 for Division. Here we are collaborating with each other to create our posters and stories.

Can you solve our number stories?
- There are 8 planes and each plane has 82 seats. How many seats are there altogether?
 - 800 people lined up in 10 lines at the airport. How many people were in each line?
 - There are 20 passengers and 2 planes. How many people go in each plane?
 - There are 11 planes and 23 people on each plane. How many people were on all 11 planes?
 - There were 5 bags and 4 people in the airport shop. How many bags could each person buy?

Persuasive Writing Audioboo

We are studying the language of persuasive writing in class. We practised using language that links our reasons for and against an idea. We used words such as "however" and "conversely" and phrases such as "On the other hand".
Can you think of other words we could use?
p.s. the volume is low so please turn it up on the device you are using

Our Community Actions

On Wednesday, some of the Middles went to the Avenue Community House and delivered and performed our Inquiry actions that we had completed at school.
Some of us presented food and money that we raised at school to the Avenue staff members.
They were extremely surprised and happy to see what we had done.
We also met a little buddy when we visited the child care centre.

Overall we had a great time learning about and helping the community.

Digital Art

Middle S flexed their creative muscles recently, when they delved into the world of digital art, using software programs to create their own art works or with a partner.
Some of the programs we used include: Toon Doos, Tux Paint, KerPoof and Mr Picasso Head
