Budgets can be made for an individual person, a family, a business, a government or a country, they can be made for anything or anyone that makes and spends money!  For maths this week we have been continuing with Financial Capabilities. Independently we wrote down our answers in our maths books. For this activity there was a budget of $45. The smith family went on a trip to the Museum. There are 2 adults and 3 children in the Smith Family. We calculated the different options and prices the Smith Family would've spent with their $45. On the DLO above, Me, Farzana, Juel, Fau and Micah created a DLO explaining our answers. 

 LI: To be wise with your money. Today we played a game, it was about money. Marlon from ASB came to talk to us about how to save and spend money.

 LI:To use smart searching skills to find out about pulleys.   We have been learning about simple machines. There are 6 different types of simple machines. This week we learnt about pulleys. Our DLO shows our labelled diagrams of a pulley system. A labelled diagram is an information picture. Pulleys are A pulley is a wheel, with a grooved rim for carrying a line.

  LI: To use powerful words to describe a setting so that it paints a clear picture in the mind of the reader. A setting is the place, time and environment of a story to help a reader make a connection to your narrative you need to use your words in away that helps them form a picture of what you are describing in their mind. To do this we looked at an image and thought of 10 words that described and showed what we could see. Once we had thought of the adjectives or adverbs we used our smart searching skills to help us find synonyms that made our descriptions clearer.I found this interesting because you can get more descriptive words from Word Hippo It really helps if you want to write a narrative. If you are using Word Hippo remember to check if the words make sense.

L.I to learn about Isaac Newton.  This week in Reading, LS2 has been working towards Simple Machines. Apart of this, we were required to learn about Isaac Newton.
