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.

Welcome to Whitehall

 After arriving at the centre, we dropped off the bags and the bus drove us down to the reservoir. Using our map reading skills we had a lovely walk back to Whitehall. Enjoying a welcome snack break, we listened and watched out for curlews, skylarks, blackbirds, buzzards and crickets.  We spotted many wild flowers too.

Adventurous activity 1: Let's try abseiling

Image
For our first activity, we headed back towards Taddington and the Monsal Trail at Millers Dale - familiar territory for us. We exchanged tales of walking, cycling and pony rides down the trail.  None of us have abseiled before, so we're not quite sure what to expect. We listened carefully before getting our harnesses on.  The instructor checked we were all safely buckled up and ready to go. Hmm...some slightly worried looks.  Here we go. Who's brave enough to go first? The bridge over the River Wye is 80 feet high and the first challenge is to climb over the railings.  We did it!  Now we can relax.
