Task Description: For this weeks task we learned about Pompeii and Herculaneum. We started Monday to Friday, we had to complete each of these slides to get this done, we watched a video about a volcano erupting in Pompeii, it was erupting slowly until the following day I think. After that, we had to list down some notes of what we think or feel, the next day we had to complete the other slide which was today. The next slide was about writing our own words and our own sentences about Pompeii, also finding out facts about it too.

Walt: Describe shapes based on their properties
Task Description: Today in maths we went a little bit into geometry, we looked at the properties of different shapes, we looked at symmetry and how shapes are found in daily lives.

Task Decription: For this task and the last day of graphs we had to look at some trickier graphs and point out some things that were wrong with them. This was a little hard and confusing, I had to get some help from my Dad.

Dawn Service
Task Description: This task is about the things you were told from your grandparents or the things you weren't told! I had to think of somethings in the past that my grandparents told me and did not. As I went through this I had just remembered some things from the past that I was told to do and not to do. I started writing some things that I just had in my head.
