Today we started our day with the and eye opener question. Our teacher challenged us to use pictures and words to explain:

3+0=3    but… 3x0=0

We worked with our new Literacy Groups and have been learning about antonyms. We also have had the chance to sketch a dream catcher, read fractured fairy tales, write stories using story sticks and explore the Prodigy math website. *All students brought home a sheet explaining how to login from home.

In science we watched a video about Wheels and Axles. Some things we learned:

- If you have a small wheel and a big wheel on an axle, you only have to push the small one a bit to make the big one move

- If you have a big wheel connected to a small wheel with a chain the small one will move faster

- Gears are a type of wheel 

- If you have 2 wheels that are the same size they will both move at the same speed

- If you attach 2 wheels with a belt they will both be on their own axle

- One wheel needs to move the axle and the axle will move the other wheel

- With the same force the small wheel will go faster but travel shorter distances, larger wheels will go slower but travel greater distances

- If you have a large wheel and a small wheel on the same axle, when you turn the big wheel fast the small wheel will have greater force

We ended our day with PE.
