Tech

For the first six days of every term, not including Wednesdays, my class goes to Hutt Intermediate to do technology. Last term, I did cooking and this term, I did sewing. When I was doing sewing this term, I made a scarf and I barely finished it in the time we had. When I did cooking last term, we made something different every day. I enjoyed making chocolate pudding the most. Both things were a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to doing hard tech next term.

My maths focus

For maths at the moment, I've been focussing on multiplication and division. I've been learning and revising strategies to make equations easier to solve. These strategies are mostly things like place value partitioning (PVP), doubling and halving, tripling and thirding, etc. Lots of the multiplying and dividing I'm doing includes decimals.
