My learning in wk 9

In 4M, we have been learning about the history of Townsville. The History of Townsvillle goes back to 1770, when Captain James Cook sailed through, naming coastal features such as Cleveland Bay, Cape Cleveland and Magnetic(al) Island.
We have also been learning about cyclones. Cyclones are powerful rotating storms. They have strong rotating winds, rain, thunder and lightning. Cyclones winds blow in a spiral around the calm centre called the eye. A wall of the thunder - clouds called the eye wall surround the eye. In maths Brianna, Brendon and I do different maths to the rest of the class. We have been doing guessing and checking. Our class is making a time capsule that will be put in the wall linings of the new classrooms. In class we have been reading a book called BOY OVERBOARD. It is about 2 children from Afganistan - Jamal and Bibi- who are really poor and decide to move to Australia. The next step for my learning is to do a project about another country.
