Maths- Baking

Over the past couple of weeks in Maths, we have been looking at Mass, Volume, and Capacity. Today we got to use some of the things we have learned to do some baking. We looked at measuring the ingredients using kilograms, grams, teaspoons, and milliliters. We used some Halloween cutters to create the shapes of the biscuits. We then got to ice them in fun and colourful ways and then finally eat them! It was a fun way to finish off our Maths unit.

Sports Activator

We have has a busy last week at school. We had a great day for Greer to visit to have another session of touch skills. We start off with some warm-up games which were a lot of fun. Then it was time to practice our skills especially passing and stepping. We round off with a quick game which was very fast paced. We are all improving so much each time Greer visits. These lessons are going to help many of us with our after school touch.

Baking

The past few weeks for Maths we have been learning about fractions. We have all worked hard and learned a lot. For our reward for working hard this term Miss Chapman let us do some baking! We had to deal with lots of measurements like ½ cup, ⅓ cup and tsp. The class split into two groups and made lolly cake and russian fudge. They both tasted so yum! Unfortunately we didn’t take any photos of the end products as they were gobbled up so quickly!

James checking Bree has measured correctly. 

Flynn stirring the fudge. It was delicious!

Oral Presentation Day

This term our inquiry has been focussed around Then and Now. We have looked at things from the past to what they are like now. These included transport, household items, clothes, and schools. We have worked really hard to produce a speech about a topic we are passionate about. Today was the day we presented them to the whole school, parents and friends of the school. We were all very nervous but everyone of us did a fantastic job. Then it was time to perform our dances we have been learning with Kayleigh Broad after lunch on Thursdays. These were performed down at the hall and we got a big crowd watching us. We got a lot of great feedback that we did an awesome job! Check out some photos of us delivering our speeches and our Then and Now dance performance.
