Maths – Shape

Every Friday in maths we have been learning about 3D shapes. We made our own skeleton 3D shapes out of art straws and we made different 3D shapes… it’s really fun! J 

We also decorated the nets of 3D shapes and then constructed them.

Maths – Measure

Our maths class went out to measure stuff like the outdoor classroom and the tarmac. We used a trundle wheel and we also went in the hall and measured the piano and the pick ‘n’ mix tables. We then went and worked out the measure and height in our math class it was really confusing. When we figured out the answers we then went back to our own class and that day was really fun.

Maths – Volume

Our maths class went outside to measure water in all different jugs. We made a mess with all the water we all had different challenges. Our first challenge was to measure what was in the bucket. Our second challenge was how many cups we could fill with water out of 2000 ml. our third challenge was to find out how much water could go in a small bottle.

Library Trip!

On Tuesday 8th May primary 5n and primary 5mac went to the library in Falkirk.  We walked all the way there from school.  It took us 40 minutes.

There were books from 1890 and there was a map that was from 1890 and our school was on it and a roman camp. There were three groups and group 1 went up the stairs, group 2 went with the lady to look at more books and group 3 stayed down the stairs. we all swapped around and we got to scan the books and look at very old maps.  It was fun except the walking.

Brown Trout Presentation!

On Monday 30th April 5 members of P5N went to talk about the trout that we were looking after. The 5 members were Nicole, Shakira, Grant, Blair and Kellie. We went to camelon education centre to do the presentation.  we had to do a presentation and there were loads of goodies to eat. We all got a pencil case each and the girls got  2 pencils and a pen and the boys got a glue stick. It was fun and after a few presentations we got to eat droughts and loads of sweets and Pepsi. I hope they keep on doing it because it is a opportunity to look after brown trout. We also got a certificate.

Directions

In maths with Miss Nichol we have been learning about directions.  We were finding it hard using the text books so we decided to make our own maps.  We measured out the grids onto big sheets of paper and made sure we divided up the boxes equally.    Then we created themes for our maps.  In the class we had a skate park, a zoo, a town centre and a larger town.  We then made 3D models to move around the board and follow the directions from the different groups.  It was great fun.
