Problem Solving

In problem solving we are learning about proportions and ratios.We have been doing this for about the last 3 weeks with room 16. We all really enjoy doing it. I have learnt problems like 35 ÷ 7

Here is the question: Keahn invited 35 guests to his birthday party, however only 5/7 of the guests were able to come. How many guests were able to attend?

Here is my thinking:

35 divided by 7 = 5 (This shows one seventh)
5/7 of 35 = 25
5 x 5=25

I did this with Lachie and Ethan, Ethan is from Room 16.

Water Safety

 Do's

Do put the youngest in the middle.
Do try and keep warm.
Do  keep calm when you fall into the water.

Don'ts

Don't freak out when you fall into the water.

 Don't rush to an island if you see one just stay in one group.
Don't swim off.


This week and last week we had swimming  lessons. Today the 21st we went into the lane pool and got split into 2 groups. One group went on the boat and the other group did the huddle. I

was in the huddle group. The important things to remember are not to go off if you are in a group.  Don't freak out when you fall into the water just keep calm.
