Weight | Measuring

Weight is how heavy an object is. Our standard forms of weight are grams (g), kilograms (kg) and tonnes (t). Most people use a scale or a balance scale to measure the weight of something.

Estimating is when people take a guess using their prior knowledge.

Converting is changing a form of something. To convert grams to kilograms people divide by one thousand and then divide one more thousand to convert to tonnes.

Plurals

Plurals are more than one thing. Most plurals have rules to them.

One of the rules are that if a noun ends with a 'y' but has a vowel (a,e,i,o,u) before the 'y' then people often use an 's' for example boy boys.

Another rule is that if a noun ends with an 'o' people often use 'es'. For example: mosquito, mosquitoes. There are some exceptions to this rule. For example: photo, photos.

Plurals have many more rules and exceptions to them.

Art

For art we were making a story using aboriginal art. Aboriginal art tells a story from the aboriginal's beliefs witch is called Dreamtime stories.

We first practised the aboriginal symbols. The different types of symbols are: footprints, stars, travelling signs, boomerang, water hole, rivers and more. 

The story I was trying to tell was about a fish and a turtle swimming and working together to escape a shark.

I enjoyed telling my story with aboriginal art and learned new things about the aboriginal culture.

Measurement length | Maths

Length is how long an object is. Our standard measurement are millimetres (mm) centimeters (cm) meters (M) and kilometres (km) . There are many different tools people can use to measure things in standard form, like: rulers meter rulers and measuring tapes.

Estimating is an educated guess on the amount of something. After someone estimates, they measure the objects to find out the real measurement.

To convert centimeters to millimetres multiply the number by 10 to convert centimeters to meters divide by 100.
