Today we used our knowledge of money to calculate the costs of the ingredients to make a banana loaf. We calculated that each loaf would cost £2.50 to make. We then baked banana loaves using some fairtrade ingredients.
In class we sliced the loaves in to 1/10s and then calculated the price of each slice. We decided we would add 10p to each slice if we were selling, making a total profit of £1 per loaf. Then we all got to eat a delicious warm slice !
Today we explored our playground to look for fractions. We created some fractions of our own too. We had lots of fun doing this!
Today we followed a recipe to make salt dough. We had to measure in 1/2 cups and whole cups. We found this easy now that we understand fractions. When our salt dough was ready we divided the dough into 25equal pieces. Everyone got 1/25 th .
We have been learning all about fractions in maths. Today we made shortbread and then cut our shortbread shapes into fractions. We then decided what fraction of the shortbread looked bigger ( and which fraction we would like to eat!)
We even cut our tray of shortbread into 1/14ths so that all the staff could try our delicious shortbread.
