Weeks 6&7, Term 1

Something I have learnt in the past two weeks was around maths. I've learnt about factors, multiples, prime numbers, and prime factors. I have learnt how to draw up factor trees and how to find the lowest common multiple (LCM) and the highest common factor (HCF). I also learnt about BEDMAS and order of operations. We also learnt about proper capitalisation when we do our writing. How to identify awubis words and appositives. And we also learnt about commas, and why they come before a fanboy.
I also learnt about the Holocaust. I read articles and learnt about why/how there was a Holocaust in the first place. I then read some stories written by survivors of the concentration camps, and learnt about how terrible life actually was there.  

Week 5, Term 1

Last week, we learnt about estimation in maths. We were taught how to estimate the answer to multiplications and additions. Another thing that I learnt was how to do algorithms for subtraction. In english we learnt the difference between simple sentences, compound sentences, complex sentences, and compound-complex sentences. We learnt about fanboys and awubis words, and how just one of those can change a simple sentence to a complex sentence.
