Measurement

Measurement.

In class (at school) we have been learning about measurement. Here is some work we have been doing in class.

---

Main unit of measuring length: meters.

          unit of measuring mass: grams.

          unit of measuring volume: liters.

---

Length:

10 millimeters (mm) = 1 centimeter (cm)

100cm = 1 meter (m)

1000mm = 1 meter (m)

1000 m = 1 kilometer (km)

---

Mass (weight)

1000 milligrams (mg) = 1 gram (g)

1000 grams (g) = 1 kilograms (kg)

---

Volume

1000 milliliters (ml) = 1 liter (l)

1000 liters (l) = 1 kiloliters (kl)

---

Harold

Harold

Today I went to see Harold the giraffe.  We talked 

about the human body, and that our liver stores and

 sorts our food. We also learnt about our 

brains and that our brain sends messages all 

around our body to all of our organs. 

To tell us about our body parts the lady at Harold put a body on a big white board and she called the body BOB.

BOB had no skin, only the inside of his body showed.

She showed us most of our organs and told as about them.

At the end she gave us some books to fill in.

I think the Harold truck is one of the best places to learn about

our body parts.

(Here is a picture of BOB)

Prototec

 Almost every day we do Prototec, Prototec is like a site to practise your maths.  I'm on stage 7 and I got

82% and I got 33 out of 40.

Vector

Vector

Vector is a company that tell's kids like me

about electricity and how to be safe around it.

Vector is also a company that fixes electricity things like 

zone substation, electricity lines, 

transformers no not tranformer (not ROBOT IN DISGUISE)

and many other electric things.

A few weeks ago Vector came to my school

and told the class (Rm10) and I about how to be safe around

electricity.  The woman who told us about electricity

said that we have 70% of water in our bodies

she said that electricity loves water and

that it likes to jump into it. After 

she asked us a question and she said that "If electricity loves water 

and loves to jump into it what will happen if it jumps into us?"

That made me think what would happen.

I raised up my hand and said 

"It will electrocute us and we might die."

Then the woman gave a sticker and said you're right

At the end of the show the woman gave

us some books and pencils.

Homework Club (Clock Work)

Homework Club (ClockWork)

At the homework club we were learning about Analogue time.

We learnt how to set the analogue clocks to the 

right time and how to add on to the time.

At the Homework club I learnt more about time

and that's good I feel more confident if someone asks me a question

about analogue time.

(If someone asks me a question about analogue time)

Eg: Sith: If it is 5 o'clock where would the small hand and the long hand be?

Me:The small hand will be on the 5 and the big hand 

would be on the 12
