We have been learning about time in Maths and this week we have been thinking about stopwatches.

We got into groups and worked together to think about fitness activities that we were going to time.

In groups of 2 or 3 we went to the gym hall and we used stopwatches (and ipads because not all of the stopwatches were working) and we timed each other doing our activities and recorded these on a table.

We came back to the classroom and had a look at our tables. We found out who had the fastest time, we compared the difference between the slowest and quickest time and finally we added up our own times for all of the activities.

It was important to know that there are 100 m/s in a second and 60 seconds in a minute when we were adding up the times.

It will be good to use this when we are older and doing sports, timing events or timing ourselves doing things.
