We enjoyed our Mandarin lesson today. We learned how to count up to ten in Mandarin with Ms Che. She then taught us how to use chopsticks and used them to count out pasta. It was quite tricky but lots of fun!
In numeracy, we have been learning about estimating. Jenson brought in some mini marshmallows to give us a group challenge. We split into two teams to see who could get the closest estimate. Well done to the winning team!
We’ve been trying new games to help us learn our times tables. Last week we started to play Beat My Score. Using 12 sided dice we are able to practice the times table we are working on. We are hoping to see improvement each week as we try to get as many right as we can within two minutes!
This afternoon we investigated the scale of our Solar System.
Firstly we watched this video which helped to show us the huge relative size of the planets within our Solar System. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaOPsmlJyw8
We then got into our Home Teams and using rulers, compasses and our tables with relative scales, each Home Team created a rocky planet and a gas planet.
Next, we arranged all our planets in the correct order and used another scale to show how far away each planet is from the sun.
