Our assembly item

We are busy practising all of our speaking parts for our assembly item. We are very excited to run the whole assembly and show you all what we have been learning. See you all on Friday morning at 9am 

Measurement fun

Yesterday we made paper planes and did an investigation into how far they could fly. As a group we had to estimate and then measure with two different units. It was a lot of fun. Check out our measuring skills. 

Room 5 Maths Measuring

We have been learning how to use a ruler properly by using our crocodile rulers. We have learnt about half, quarter and 3 quarters. Check us out measuring things around our room and recording down how long they are. We are being careful to start from the same place and record exactly where it stops.

Our technology challenge

Today Miss Boaler put us in groups of 4 and gave us 25 marshmallows and 15 kebab sticks and told us to build the tallest tower we could. We had to use team work to make our creation. We did such an awesome job and all managed to create a stable tower. We then came up with ideas of how we could measure our towers. We decided cubes would be the fairest way and wrote 2 sentences about our tower. First sentence was how tall our tower was in cubes and the second how tall it was in centimetres. We learnt some new maths words today while having fun! Check us out...
