Today we have been busy writing speeches. We learned about 'hooks'. A hook is when you say or write something that makes people pay attention and want to find out more. It is called a hook because when you fish you use a hook to stop the fish from escaping. In writing you use your words to stop the reading from escaping!
We also talked about our Greek projects. Most of us have decided on what we are going to do and many of us have started our research!
We have also been learning about fractions. We had to solve problems like...There are 20 children on a bus and 1/4 have red shoes. How many have red shoes? It was a bit tricky at first but then we remembered that the bottom number in a fraction means 'cut the total into this number of groups.'
20 cut into 4 groups is 5. So 1/4 of 20 = 5
Simple!
