Year 4 wc 31st January

This week we eventually found out that gas does have a mass. It took a long time for the carbon dioxide to seep out of the bottle of Coke and it was with much excitement that we found that the bottle with carbon dioxide weighed 521g and the one without (identical all other measurements) weighed 514g, so the carbon dioxide weighed 7g.

We often do an “imoves” routine in-between learning, to stay lively. Here is the class doing one of this week’s routines.

We celebrated the NSPCC “Number Day” today with some active Maths activities, mainly based around times-tables. Outside the children: practised reciting multiples of given times tables to skipping or passing the football; created 4-digit numbers in hoops with beanbags for a partner to correctly identify; see who was quickest at answering the “line of equations”; and wrote missing number calculations using things from nature. So if the calculation was a pine-cone x 5 = 60, what would the pine-cone be? Indoors, we played times-table Bingo and the Multiples and Factors game which is also for home learning.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend and l look forward to seeing you for Wellbeing Week before the half-term holiday.
