Maths

This week in Algebra we have been finding and applying rules for patterns. We drew the patterns and continued to the 5th or 6th pattern. We predicted the 10th pattern and in our group we then created a rule for the pattern. The rule for this pattern is
(nx4)+(n-1x2)

This was a challenging and fun activity.

Gifts from the sun

  Gifts from the Sun

Today in reading I learnt about the welcome gifts of the sun and the harmful effects of the sun.

1.List the welcome and unwelcome gifts from the sun?

 The sun gives us heat and light but the UV radiation can burn our skin.  

2.What would happen if the sun stop shining? If the sun stops shining our planet will start to cool down very fast and then all the people, animals and other living things will die.

3.Explain the ozone layer? High above us the outer layer of air is called the ozone layer that stops most of the UV radiation from reaching us.

4.Does the writer protect himself on a cool day? Yes Why? Because even on cool day after an one or two hours he says I will always cover myself with sunblock.

5.What are harmful effects of the uv radiation? UV radiation can burn your skin badly and it can damage your eyes?

     6.Draw a picture of a welcoming sun.

                       Today we learnt that:

• UV radiation can burn and damage our skin.

• When the sun is directly above us in summer or daylight saving months between 11am and 4pm most UV radiation reaches us.

• UV radiation causes sunburn, wrinkles, and ages our skin or makes it look old.

• If there are thin clouds or patches of clouds the sun's UV  radiation and still reach us.
