Today in class we all had a chance to use the calculators.First we tried using the big calculator on the projector to let everyone see the buttons clearly.We saw there were different buttons with various functions.We can add, subtract, multiply and divide numbers.We can also use the equals button and the all clear button.Finally, we tried using our skip counting to work out number calculations.Then we checked the results with the calculator.We all agreed it was a fun lesson.

Today in class we found out that we measure liquid using millilitres and litres. We now know there are 1000ml in 1 litre. First we had to estimate the amount of water in each container and then measure the actual amount. It was difficult to pour the water carefully in each container. Sometimes we had to use a larger or smaller measuring cylinder to fill the exact amount fully.

Today in class we all took part in a sea food web activity. Each person had a card. Each card had a name on it. The names were phytoplankton, zooplankton, anchovies, mackerel, fur seal. octopus, humpback whales, orca whales and much more. Declan and Xiao were great thinkers. They both said that everything is interconnected. If one part of the food web is damaged then the whole ecosystem is affected.
