Extinction of Tigers

Tigers are almost extinct because of us. Tigers prefer to live in Jungles or forest. 3 subspecies are already extinct.

There are 2 main reasons why Tigers are disappearing. Firstly, their territories are getting chopped down to build more farming land and cities and leaving the tigers homeless and starving. Another reason is because of poaching. Poaching is an illegal hunting of animals which happens all the time.

Tigers get killed a lot for their fur to make coats, their eyes are used as goodluck charms and their bones are used for chinese medicine.
Let's not kill tigers for our pleasure but leave them alone so they can live like us.

Human Art - Mathematics Week

Room 14's Human Art

We had a human art challenge.
Divide the class into groups of 8 and each student has a number from 1 to 4.

Your number corresponds to your action/shape:
e.g.
Number 1: Stand like a solider

Number 2: Stand like a star

Number 3: Stand with a triangle.

Number 4:Stand like a circle.

Solve the problem : What would be the 40th shape?
It is a star. We had so much fun with human art.
