The weather held us back a bit today as we learned more about reading maps, using keys and orienteering, but we still had lots of fun! 😊
After the soggy map work, we created some amazing patterns using the array of beautifully coloured leaves we found at the back of the pitch.
We discovered some leaves which had what we think are little caterpillar eggs on them too. What an interesting and surprising discovery.
We are so pleased with our pressed flowers. After only two weeks in our hi tech flower presses the results were superb. What an interesting time we had this morning looking at our flowers and leaves on the light box.
This morning we were challenged to collect six number stones to create three two digit numbers giving the highest total possible.
What marvellous discussions we had throughout the challenge as well as on the way back to class! We are certainly sharpening up our mental maths and problem solving skills in primary 4.
After that we designed and made some really cool outdoor hi tech clipboards and headed out to collect some leaves and flowers to press over the October break.
What a super day for some outdoor maths today! After a fun warm up game revising place value we moved on to investigating the properties of 2D shapes and well as learning about obtuse, acute and right angles.
We also created some marvellous shapes and patterns by joining others together and using the materials in interesting ways.
