Incorporating maths

The children have been learning about the Romans as part of our Social Studies topic. We have also been learning to sort information into a Venn diagram. The children wanted to use their knowledge of Venn diagrams and apply these skills in different contexts i.e. using 3D shapes and pieces of Roman clothing.

We have also been learning about the Solar System in Science. The children discovered that our planets are not the same distance apart. They used trundle wheels to measure out the scale distance between the planets! We discovered that the ‘rocky planets’ are a lot closer together than the ‘gas giants’.
