=Task One: Maths - Rounding Whole Numbers and Decimals=

Try the following interactive online maths tasks to practise rounding of whole numbers and decimal numbers. Spend **2 minutes** on each task, then go to your **Report Totals** and print them out to show your success rate over 2 minutes. Make sure these are clearly labelled in your homework books. [|Rounding to the nearest 10] [|Rounding to the nearest 100] [|Rounding to the nearest 1000] [|Rounding to the nearest tenth] [|Rounding to the nearest hundredth] [|Rounding decimals (mixture!)]

=Task Two: Inquiry= =a. Reflect, Evaluate, Critique= If you haven't already completed a reflection for your eportfolio about your learning and thinking styles so far, click the picture below for instructions on what to do for this stage. Your teacher may also have something else for you to do for this stage. Room 8 students have already done this so you are excused from this task! =b. Present= Click here for guidelines on your PRESENT stage for Inquiry

=Task Three: Health= As we have been learning about in class, we all go through changes as we grow up. Those changes are mentally, emotionally, socially and physically. It can be both scary and exciting going through changes. It can also be tempting to try to keep things the same and not move on with the changes we face.

You will also be experiencing big changes in responsibilities next year in Year 8 and throughout your teen years. It can be pretty confusing when we have so many changes going on at once and we don't know what's happening to us!

Click on the image below to see full size view and print off the Venn Diagram template. In the following video there are two kinds of people. Watch the video. As you do...
 * a**.
 * Jot down all of the information you can infer about Hem and Haw and write it on one side of your Venn Diagram.
 * On the other side, write down all of the information you can infer about Skip and Scurry.
 * In the middle overlapping section, write down any similarities you notice about the two pairs throughout the entire video.

Which pair of people do you think would cope with the changes faced during puberty and in their teen years? (regardless of the fact that one pair are mice, not humans, imagine they are humans!) Why do you think this? (Give some evidence from the video)
 * b.**


 * c.**
 * Write a statement about how things in your life may change between now and the end of year 8. Remember, next year you will have a different teacher, different class mates, and lots more opportunities to take on responsibilities within the school and widen your group of friends.


 * How can you apply some of the ways Skip and Scurry used to cope with changes?

Complete a statement for the following areas:


 * 1) With my physical changes during puberty:
 * 2) With your friends:
 * 3) How you complete and present my work:
 * 4) How you learn:
 * 5) With your responsibilities at home:
