Maths Mentos Millilitre Challenge!

Each day last week Class 5 were really involved in their Maths. On Friday we added Science & ICT into the mix. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

At the start of the video there is a brilliant picture of a Cola fountain (one of many taken by a pupil using a digital camera). The child in question earned a camera licence by recording our lesson and will now pass skills, tips and a licence to his classmates.

I feel that this ownership of ICT represents a more realistic use of technology and helps the children recognise how ICT can support their learning. With the availability of extra laptops Year 4 are already regularly ticking ICT objectives in the new term as well as maintaining some old ones!

Class 5 measure up

On Wednesday we made our own scales in maths. We used 2l plastic bottles and filled them up 100ml at a time. We used permanent pens to mark all the numbers so if we got it wrong we would have to start again. We had 3 buckets of water and we split into 3 groups (we did this outside!). Here is a picture.
