Use the Image above to answer the questions in the table

Item	Which shop is the item cheaper?	How much cheaper is the item (when it is on sale) than the other shop?	Show your working out here:
Sweatshirt	The surf shop	$1.20	6x.3 =18 60-18=42 72x.4=28.8 72-28.8=43.2
Jacket	Surf the waves company	$7.20	120x.3=36 120-36=84 96x.2=19.2 96-19.2=76.80

Here are the screenshots to my IXL activities:

My next step is: to be able to multiply fractions

I can make links across texts by recognizing connectives or adverbial clauses

I can make links across texts by recognising connectives or adverbial clauses

In this unit learnt what an adverbial clause is and what a connective is

A connective is a word that connects two sentences together

An adverbial clause is something that tells you when it happend and what it was

Here is a link to a compare and contrast map of an adverbial clause and a connective

Model of Alcatraz home learning

I have made a model of Alcatraz in terraria. It has taken more than 8 hours (4 hours on minecraft and 4 and 30 minutes on terraria) because I started making it on another pixel game minecraft and then that didn't give me the reflection I wanted, so I started on terraria. Some of the things in the prison I could not make because they weren't in the game (eg. Shower so I used bathtub as a representative as a shower)  so, here are a few pictures of the prison 

 

This is a for police to come over with prisoners or go back to San Francisco 

Then this is some of the cells 

This is the other end of the island that Alcatraz is on (The ocean is bigger than it looks because it goes out)

I had to put a table and chair in the cells so there was people in the cells and because there is no prisoners in terraria so that's why there is tables and chairs in the rooms and why there is people in the cells. I have also researched Alcatraz. It is a stranded island where the people go who committed the worst crimes but it is closed now and the tours around Alcatraz and it is located by San Fransisco. 

This the cafeteria where the prisoners go to eat
