Collaboration

This week at school, our group is learning about collaboration. Collaboration is when everyone works together as a group.  To us, collaboration sounds like lots of people talking together and giving tips and ideas to others in your group. collaboration feels really good and it is sometimes really annoying because your plan doesn't work. It looks like people working together. For one of our collaboration activities, we tied lots of string to a small metal ring. Then, we put a cup into the ring and put a ball in it. Next, we saw if we could each hold onto one string and make the ball go up, then down. Level 2 was to do the sane thing, but we used a smaller cup and ball. Level 3 was to do the same thing again except with no cup. Level 4 was to bounse the ball then catch it 10 times!!!    have a look at the photos below to have a look at my friends doing it.

      

People Who You May Not Know

for the Before School Slides, we are: writing a blog post which shows you,

• Who a person is
• 5 facts about the person.
• And A statement about what you think of the person you have found out.

please see the slides below to see what I have done.

Elf

on Friday, we made an elf and I am going to show you the instructions. first we got a template of a elf hat, an body with clothes and shoes, and two ears. then we coloured them in, in christmas colours. next, we each took a photo of our faces and cut them out. after that, we glued it all together.Have a look at the one that I made below!!!

simplifying ratios

here, we are learning to simplify ratios. how do you simplify a ratio? well, it is easy. you find the highest common factor of the two numbers of the ratio and you divide it by the highest common factor. confusing? for example, 12 to 8 or 12:8 the highest common factor is 4 so you divide both of them by 4 and that equals 3 to 2 or 3:2. some of them cannot be simplified like 4:5 or 3:2. an easy way to figure out if you can simplify it is if both the numbers are prime numbers or if the highest number is and prime.

Find the ratio of these images. Find the simplified ratio as well.

THE FIRST ONE HAS BEEN DONE FOR YOU.

Picture	Ratio	Simplified Ratio
	15:6	Cannot be simplified
	12:2	6:1
	4:9	Cannot be simplified
	8:5	Cannot be simplified
	12:8	3:2
	15:4	Cannot be simplified
	5:11	Cannot be simplified
	12:2	6:1
	4:11	Cannot be simplified
	11:6	Cannot be simplified
	12:9	4:3
	11:2	Cannot be simplified
