Maths week activities

During Maths week England, Giraffes have been using maths across the curriculum.

We found that we could multi-task by practising times tables and ball skills at the same time!






In science, we measured the time taken for Blu Tac to fall to the bottom of the measuring cylinder. 




We also had to find  the mean time from our repeated measurements.


We continued our Power maths work, when we were all learning to solve problems using mental methods and reason from known facts.



Today, we took on the White Rose Barvember challenges. 

These are very tricky word problems, but with teamwork and our bar modelling skills, we managed to solve them.







Tomorrow, we will be costing out our enterprise project. We will need to make sure that we calculate our costs accurately, so that we make a profit. More on that soon...

We will also be challenging each other on Times Tables Rock stars.

Team swing

Image
 Having spent the morning underground, we avoided the worst of the weather and most of the group were reasonably dry as we headed back to the centre.  After lunch we were lucky that the rain wasn't too heavy and we go t kitted out for the team swing. We had seen this in action yesterday, so we had a good idea what to expect.  Some of us were excited by this; others, not so much! Teamwork We needed the trolley to get the 2 people into position. Everyone had to pull the rope to hoist up the swing.  We were really good at this, so we had time for 2 goes each.  After 2 goes, out came the trolley again to swap over to the next pair. Here we are before and during our swing. Zooming in on the action... I think you could say there was a mixed reaction! Everyone pushed themselves to their limit ... and then a bit more.  A great activity.

Night walk

After tea, we finished making our beds and got ready for our final activity: the night walk.  We had a stop near Dethick Church. Finding out about the history of this ancient building.  Spotting wild flowers. Which way do we need to go?  Weve done it! One action- packed day complete.  We've walked 17000 steps today. Hopefully, this means we will all sleep well tonight...

High ropes

 After lunch we got harnesses and helmets on, ready for the high ropes. Some of the children were really looking forward to this activity; others were not! We were in four teams of four and we had to work together to make sure our climbing team-mate was safe.
