Today for maths we did Volume & 3d shapes. It was really easy to complete. We just had to solve the volume of 3d shapes. Vika helped me do the work. Please leave a positive comment on my blog. Thank you!
Swaimah – Using information features
Today for writing I did Using information features. I;m sorry but i have to add it on an online page. Please leave a positive comment on my blog. Thank you!
Today for reading i did Discussion & reflection – T2W3. It was really fun doing this discussion task because my group came together and discussed this issue. Please leave a positive comment on my blog. Thank you!

What’s the Matter?
3: We are learning to explain what happens to materials when they are heated and cooled.
When particles are heated they:
When the water temperature is hot the particles move really fast
When particles are cooled they:
When the water temperature is cold the particles move really slower
Experiment: Fill one beaker with hot water and one with cold water. Add one drop of food colouring to each.
Which beaker does the food colouring move around faster in?
What does this have to do with building houses?
When the particles have more energy they take up more space. This is why things expand or get bigger when they are heated and contract or get smaller when they get cold. When building, architects need to think about how much the materials may expand in the heat of the summer and contract in the cold winter months. Metal railway tracks have small gaps so that when the sun heats them, the tracks expand into these gaps and don’t buckle.
Why are there bumps or small gaps in the harbour bridge?
The Harbour bridge has small gaps so that when the sun heats them, the tracks expand into these gaps and don’t buckle.
Hypothesis
I think when you do the experiment the food colouring in the hot water will move fast and it will eventually stop in about a minute or so. The food colouring in the cold water will just sink in the bottom of the cup and it won’t move at all.
Today for reading I completed the The Fight- Respond to the text. love this task because i get to skim and scan to look for the answers in the book. This slideshow was really easy to complete and I think we should do more of responding to texts. Please leave a positive comment on my blog. Thank you!
