Good afternoon
Wishing Tree
One of your classmates came up with the idea of creating a wishing tree. He drew a tree and then made leaves to add to the tree. On the leaves he wrote things that he would like to do after lockdown. Why don’t you try creating your own wishing tree.
My wishes would be –
Hug family and friends.
Take my children to the park.
Have a party with family and friends.
Numeracy
I would like you to choose one of the Number Talks challenges below.
Science
Today’s challenge is to make a boat. Get some tin foil make it into a boat shape with a flat square bottom and edges so the water does not spill in. The water should push it up because water is a really strong force that can hold up heavy weights like real ships. Then start adding spoons to your tin foil boat to see how many spoons it can hold before it sinks. Before you start can you guess how many spoons it will hold before the boat sinks?
As an extension you could weigh the spoons to see how many and how heavy the load is before it sinks.
As a further extension or If you don’t have any tin foil at home you can make your own waterproof paper. Yes that’s right waterproof paper. Get a piece of paper and colour it in with a crayon or a candle. These things make the paper water proof because it creates a barrier between the water and the paper.
Hope you are all well.
