Minibeast analysing and categorising

For the first part of today we enjoyed a chilly but dry afternoon as we searched for minibeasts. We found plenty of slugs under some wood, a millipede, some snails, worms, flies and a beetle too.

We then used a classification grid to sort them out into different categories.

Then there was some heavy rain so we dashed indoors and started to draw some labelled diagrams of our mini beasts.

 

Outdoor rounding

The weather wasn’t too kind to us today with quite a few surprise downpours while we worked outside. It didn’t dampen our spirits though and we worked well in teams to reinforce our understanding of rounding to the nearest ten.

After  that we worked on some magic number problem solving. Some groups worked really hard and moved on to a second challenge to create their own problem.
