Fo Guang Yuan Art Gallery Visit

Ni hao, this week my school chose a group of students to visit the Fo Guang Yuan Art Gallery. I was lucky enough to be chosen to be part of the trip along with my friend Xyryll.

We were all called to the learning commons at 9am. All of the students were gathered there and after a few minutes we then formed a line (alphabetically) to board the bus. The drive was about 15 – 30 minutes then we arrived.

We were greeted with a warm welcome by the staff.  we started the tour around the temple. We then had soome kai and they gave us some chocolate cake. After 10 minutes we went in to a room and did some calligraphy the watched a movie about buddha. We even did some meditating because buddha did meditating to feel himself.

 

It was a really fun experience and i hope i could go back and visit the Fo Guang Yuan Art Gallery again.

I also made a dlo heres the link – link

Numeracy – Proper, improper and mixed fractions

Kamusta bloggers, for this blog im going to explain what the meaning of proper fractions is and the difference of improper and mixed fractions. Fractions are a really cool topic to learn.

 

Some things I learned was how to convert improper fractions to proper fractions, and etc.

 

Proper fractions are when the numerator is smaller than the denominator. Some examples are 5/10 and 3/8 you can even simply/reduce proper fractions. You could even add,subtract,multiply, and divide proper fractions.

Improper fractions are when the numerator is larger than the denominator some exammples are 12/6 15/9. Some improper fractions can be made into mixed numbers.

Mixed numbers are when theres a whole number and a fraction. some examples are 2 8/10 etc.

If you guys need more examples to understand it more clearly here is a slideshow with some examples.

 

 

And here is my slideshow that I answered about fractions.
