Trade DayReport

I have enjoyed term 1, as we had a very interesting topic which was called "The Global Marketplace". During trade day, each partner had a country, in my case it was Russia. We (my partner and I) started off with 16 units of currency and ended with 34 units of currency which was brilliant. My partner and me thought of first selling all our things and then buying all the things we needed. Everytime we bought an object or we sold one we had to record it on the balance sheet. At the end of the day, we had to work out whether we had more or less money than when we started. The Phillipines started off with 3 units and ended with 4 units of currency which was ok. They thought that bringing people to their country table was quite hard this was hard because no one wanted to listen to them as they thought they had nothing to sell to them. Egypt started with 6 units and ended with 25 units of currency which was excellent. They thought that finding all the things they needed to buy was quite hard as it seemed like no one had the things they needed.
over all me and my partener enjoyed it as we pretended to be real countries.

Week review of English

In english we were writing biographies about different people like Terry Fox.
We have writen lots of different biographies and also read different biographies.
Close to the end of the Topic we had to write a biographie about a person in our family as an assesment.
I learnt much about biogrphies because it tells information about other people.(Mostly about famouse people)
You can learn much about biographies.How people act, caring, helping and badness.

6L Parent Meeting for EDU20

week review of math

In maths we were learning about turning fractions into percentages. For example, 10 people were on a bus, then 8 people got of. What percent out of 100 is that? What is the fraction of that? The answer is 80% and 8/10. The way you work it out is simple. First you times 10 by 10 and 8 by ten and you have 100 and 80, then you gust make them 80%. To get the fraction you simplify the number in till it is at it's lowest form( for this example, the simplest form will be four fifths (4/5) divide the numerator by 2 and the denominator by 2 ) and then you have your answer.


Thanks D!
