In room 9 a group of people are doing lexia core 5. Some of those students are us. Some of our questions include idioms. For example to spill the beans. That question doesn’t literally mean to spill beans, because it’s an idiom. It actually means to tell a secret.         By Ellie and Lizzie

Room 9 rectangle maths group have been working on decimal numbers.

 These are the kind of questions Mrs Cribb have been giving us. For example 

0.7 + 0.3 = 1.0

 It’s just like 7 + 3 = 10 with the decimal point.

     Today I found out today about echidnas. echidnas are like porcupines. The thing that make porcupines and echidnas different is that echidnas have long snouts.

Baby echidnas are called puggles. It’s a cute name.
