Today we did our maths outdoors. In class we have been  having lots of opportunities to measure. We have been comparing volume, weight and length. We have also been choosing appropriate items to measure objects. Today with our learning partner we built snowmen. Some of us found this really tricky so we changed it to snow towers. After looking at a variety of objects, we choose our cubes to measure our snowmen or snow towers.  After counting how many cubes, we then returned to the class to record our results.

We continued our topic on transport today. After finding out how difficult it had been for some people to travel in their cars today, we looked at the road cameras on different roads around Scotland. We found the M8 motorway close to our school was very busy and the cars were travelling very slowly. We brought snow into the classroom and tried to move our cars on an area with snow and an area without snow.

Orlaith said, it got really stuck on the snow.

Zach- they can’t go as fast when there’s snow.
