Who knew how many words there were in Maths.... A lot more than just numbers!!
In the comment section write as many Maths related words as you can think of starting with the first letter of your name!!
Then we will blow up the words (not literally) and put them on the ceiling:-)
The only letter I think could be difficult is Y for Yonas so use H for Habtemariam ok Yonas.
It doesn't matter if you have the same letter as anyone else.
May the "Four"ce be with you:-)

This weekend I would like to make something (no food) that starts with the letter M... Be as creative as possible.
The second part is I would like you to bring in a small object that we can put in a mystery bag. You guys will put your hand in, without looking, and try to guess what it is:-)
Once you've done that... Have a nice weekend!!!!

During our class community of inquiry today we started to discuss whether the Police should carry guns or not? There are always stories in the news about Police and guns and gun control laws so what are your thoughts? Should they or shouldn't they?

No that we are becoming more confident writers we need to continue working on our Recrafting and making sure we have enough detail to keep the reader hooked into your writing from start to finish.
Here is a pretty average piece of writing:
....Jimmy lived in an old house on Main Street. He was a short, not very smart boy, who liked to ride his bicycle up and down the street. His bicycle was quite old. The old woman who lived next to Jimmy liked to sit on her front balcony all day and watch the neighbourhood children play. All except Jimmy. This is because one day, a long time ago, Jimmy had broken her favourite garden ornament with his soccer ball.....
Your task is to take this average piece of writing and recraft/add more detail to it to make it more exciting for the reader. It doesn't have to be a lot of writing but it needs to be quality writing:-)
Do your best and we will look at your work on Monday.
Post your work in the comment section. Remember you can maximise the comment window and press "ctrl +" to make the text bigger and easier to read while you are publishing.
I'm looking forward to reading your work!

Hi team,
Thought we could give it another go! Very nice work by some of you last week but would be great to get more of you into it!
Here is the task again - Read it!!!
You complete a piece of homework, any work, about anything, that takes you a minimum of 25minutes. Of course you can spend longer if you wish, but the purpose of this task is that you put in 100% effort for 25minutes and produce something creative.
I look forward to seeing what you come up with. Do your best!!
DUE MONDAY:-)
