Reflection - what we learned today

Today we learned:

1. That saying 'grandma' in Maori is way harder than in English - Olivia
2. Reuben did a back flip at gymnastics!
3. I am not really scared of doing a flip and failing any more - Tyler.
4. The first time I actually landed on my feet when doing a forward flip - Nathan.
5. We learned about the body parts of a fraction (Reuben). The line between the numerator and the denominator means: divided by (Nathan).
6. It was fun climbing the rope with your toes to hold on - Nathan.
7. I learned about the fear of kidney disease - Meg.
8. Today was the first time I ever did a flip! Jenny.
9. We learned about the different types of gases and the periodic table (Nathan, Jenny). The period table is a chart of the chemical elements (Meg/Nathan).
10. We wrote our first chemical formulas - it was fun because we hadn't done this before.

Some questions we have are:

1. Why do we use chemical formulas? Olivia, Jenny.

Next steps for us could be:

1. Creating more complicated chemical formulas and trying to put them together.
2. Practising a bit more our fractions skills, especially converting them from fractions, to percentages and decimals.
