A whole mix of exciting activities going on at the moment! We explored the art of Giuseppe Arcimboldo, an Italian artist who used seasonal fruits and vegetables to make portraits! We then created our own food art portraits at Mearns Masters, which we enjoyed eating afterwards. Among the many activities going on for Maths Week Scotland, we explored the story of Sophie Germain, a famous French mathematician. We looked at the struggles she faced to become a world famous mathematician, and the discoveries she made – such as how vibration and sound waves can affect one another. We used glasses to make different sounds using only water and our fingers. Many children submitted Maths Week homework activities, some of which you can see here. We also  investigated different ways of playing using maths in class – for example, Sophie Germain created patterns which helped build the Eiffel Tower – we used patterns to make a tower taller than the tallest child, then a structure bigger than Mrs Connolly! A fun week all round.
