Ancient Greek is back on the timetable

Today was the 2nd to last day for gymnastics.  We are mostly feeling a little upset about that!  We have enjoyed learning how to use the springboard, doing the scoops on the balance beam and performing headstands.


Today we have also been learning some ancient Greek!  The alphabet was quite easy.  We found out that the word 'Alphabet' comes from the words 'alpha' and 'beta' which come from the Greek for 'A' and 'B'.  Some of us even know how to write numbers in ancient Greek! We enjoyed writing our names in ancient Greek.
In maths we have been thinking about probability.  We used words like, 'Certain', 'Impossible' and 'Equal chance' and matched them to some sentences.  At first we thought that some things were certain, like 'I will go swimming this weekend' but then we realised that things could only be 'Certain' if there was no way that it wouldn't happen.  We managed to think of lots of reasons why swimming might not happen this weekend, everything from 'toxic water closes the pool' to 'broken legs'!
