easter facts

in my class, tumu hub we have started learning about easter. these are some facts. Sometimes it comes at the end of March; other years it happens in late april. In 2021, easter is on sunday 4 april. For it to come any later than it was in 2019 (21 april) you’ll have to wait until 2038. easter is always on the first sunday after the first full moon that follows the spring equinox. But this full moon is an ecclesiastical full moon (ecclesiastical means ‘of the Church’), and so wasn't calculated in quite the same way modern astronomers would.

On top of that, for the purpose of calculating easter, the spring equinox is always on 21 march.

So there you go – this year, the first full moon after the 21 March is Sunday 28 march, hence why easter is on Sunday 4 april. that was most of my learning about easter and i hope you enjoyed it.

MY UNDERSTANDING OF ROUNDING AND COMPENSATING IN TIDY NUMBERS BY BOSTON

 

Hi, welcome to my blog. This week we have been learning a new strategy in maths. We have been learning how to solve subtraction problems by using rounding and compensating and knowledge about tidy numbers. Here are some examples. i didnt know what on EARTH these meant at the beggining, but now im  a master. have you ever done tidy numbers? if not, you should, because i really enjoyed it.

         +1

269 - 199 = 269 - 200 +1

                  =70

         +3

337 - 97 = 337 - 100 + 3

                = 240

           +3

672 - 297 = 672 - 300 + 3

                  = 575

i also made a google slide about it with some more examples. scroll down to see the link.

st patricks day

 It is celebrated on the 17th of March.

St Patrick was born in great Britain, around 385 AD.

He was kidnapped at the age of 16 and brought to Ireland to work on a sheep farm.

He escaped back to Britain six years later to join a monastery.

After spending 15 years there, he was renamed Patrick.

He returned to Ireland to spread Christianity.

He later became saint of Ireland.

Now we celebrate st Patrick's day.

It is said that if you catch a Leprechaun, he will have to give you his pot of gold.

Leprechauns are Fairies.
