Outdoor Adventures

After sharing our super work in celebration assembly, we decided to follow our own advice and get fresh air and exercise outside in our wonderful wildlife area.  We even enjoyed a fresh fruit snack of apples and strawberries.

Some of us were keen to work on our tree climbing skills, whilst others enjoyed butterfly catching and pond dipping. Lots of us noticed how the wildlife area had changed since the last time we used it, including the beautiful water lilies flowering and the bright, red poppies.

 

 

 

 

Volume

Today the children have done some great problem solving to do with volume. They explored the problem...

'A taller container will always hold more liquid than a shorter one. True or false?'

To solve this problem, children had a go at measuring the amount of liquid that different sized containers held. Some of us measured this amount by counting the number of cups of water that fit inside the container, whilst a few of us began to use measuring jugs to get more accurate measurements in millilitres. We used cubes to help us keep track of how many cups we had put into our containers,

Now we have started talking about millilitres for measuring volume, perhaps you could have a look around the house to find objects which have this measurement on them? Perhaps you could even take a photo that we could add to the bottom of this blog...

Our maths market

The children have decided our blog title today and we worked together to decide what we would write to tell you all about 'our maths market'...


"We went to some shops in our classroom and there was lots selling and buying. Some of us also went on the computer to play money games on ICT games. We could buy rulers and squishy toys and lots of other things. We had to look at the table to see the price of the objects. We had a cup of money and a basket to put our things in."
