Today we had to randomly select five seedlings from each tray and count the leaves on each.

We played headbands. We had to give clues for each other to guess which word was stuck onto our heads. We gave clues like how many syllables, how many vowels,3rd letter is…. It was good fun!

Erin- We had to work in a group to have mini debates and vote for the right we thought was most important.

Connor- It was fun.

Susannah- Our group managed to come to a conclusion easily, we all agreeded with each other.

Gordon-

Kristin- This helped us with our listening skills. We had to make eye contact and not interupt each other.

Sophie- We also had to use talking skills like giving examples and explaining our choices and giving everybody a chance to speak.

Today we had to count the seeds that had managed to germinate and grow. From 200 seeds we have 173 alive and growing.

After a recent survey in the school we found out that some children didn’t think the school helped them to make healty choices. We decided to make games, powerpoints and competitions to encourgae others to make healthier choices.

Emma, Adam, Ewan and Sophie also made some healthy eating games on the SCRATCH computer programming site. We were very impressed and we are all going to try our best to make healthier choices.

We love trying out some of our old favourite games with a mathamatical twist. In these pictures Jack and Ben decided we could play tig but this time if you get caught you have to chant the stations of your tables. The first time you are caught you say the 6 times table, the second time the 7 times table, the third time the 8 times table and so on.

Then Susannah suggested we played an odd and even game. We faced our partners in a line. One side was odd and one side was even. Mrs McLean called out a calculation and we had to work out the answer. If the answer was odd then they ran away and the even side tried to catch them and vice versa. We had great fun. Next time we are going to try Math Splat.

When we returned to school today we notice our rocket seeds have grown over the weekend. We are so excited to watch what happens over the next couple of weeks. We promise to keep you updated.
