This was inspirational maths week and we investigated colour and patterns. We were given the challenge to build as many 3 block towers as possible with three different colours. We found it quite tricky to begin with but then we got really good. We built the towers in different shapes too. We could have six combinations if we stacked them one above the other. We then had to do the same with four colours. We guessed how many combinations we could have but when we started making and recording the combinations, we found there were a lot more! Can you work out how many combinations there would be?

In Literacy and LAC, we were writing about what problems we have in our community. We found three problems; littering, broken glass and dog poo being left around. We decided that we could only tackle one problem safely and that was littering. We wrote about the problem and how we could solve it and who could help us.

In science, we investigated the absorbency of material and found that not everything is absorbent. Some things are more absorbent than others. We made artificial snow! This was the most absorbent thing we looked at.

Enjoy your long weekend!
