We were raising money for charity today.  We donated a pound and then we could wear our own shoes to school.

We love to make Maths hands-on as much as possible. We have been doing lots of work recently on fractions and it has been a perfect opportunity to do lots of practical activities.  We were really good at using the unifix cubes to explore lots of different ways of showing a quarter. We made some interesting shapes and learnt that although the shape might look different, there was still one quarter that was represented by using a different coloured cube. 

Yesterday we had great fun testing different materials to see how waterproof they were. We were trying to find out which was the best material for a waterproof roof for a Lego house.  We discovered that the plastic wallet was the best material for building a Lego house roof because it was very waterproof and the plastic did not break like some of the other materials we tested. 

We had a great week for Healthy Living Week and did a whole host of different activities. Here is a photo of us at a workshop led by Mrs Rees who is a dietician. She told us all about vegetables and the vitamins they contain. We studied the artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo. Firstly, we had a go at arranging the fruit and vegetables to make faces. Then we used the fruit and vegetables to do some printing. Here is some of our artwork.
