The 8 year old class has been learning about many subjects including geometry. We learned about intersecting lines, perpendicular lines and parallel lines, as well as closed and open shapes, polygons, triangles, angles, area and perimeter. In science we studied weather prediction and severe weather. We are working on designing a model to prevent water from washing away houses in a flood. We also participated in science days, where we had to build a straw tower with just our imagination, straws and 1 meter of tape. In cultural studies we studied about ancient Rome, the patrician people and their way of life. In literacy we wrote and illustrated our own poetry book.
