Multistep money problems in Rolls' Restaurant!

We have been planning family meals using lots of mathematical skills, including estimating, adding, subtracting and dividing.

Multistep word problems in Rolls' Restaurant!

Welcome to Rolls' Restaurant!

Science - Evaporation

Today 5Poplar began the investigation of "Does the size of the container affect the amount of water which is evaporated?" Each container has the same amount of water in (100ml). In three days the groups will measure the amount of water that has evaporated to see whether their prediction was correct or not. Which container do you think will lose the most amount of water and why?

Science - Filtering and Sieving

Today 5 Poplar investigated separating different materials by sieving and filtering. Here are some pictures of what they got up to! Do YOU know the difference between filtering and sieving?

5Rowan - Dance

Look at these groovy moves!

 

 

 

 

Maths - Converting Metric and Imperial Units

This week 5 Poplar have been investigating converting metric and imperial units! Here are some more pictures of the class using scales, rulers and measuring jugs to help them!

Separating Materials

Science this week saw us trying to work out how to separate different materials.

First we had sand and Pasta.

For this we needed a sieve.

Then we had sand and water.

  

For this we used filter paper.

Finally, we put sugar into water. 

When we mixed the solution the sugar disappeared- it dissolved.

We have left our sugar solution to see what happens over time.

Maths - Converting Metric to Imperial units!

Here are some pictures of year 5 working in pairs trying to solve different questions stuck around the room involving converting metric and imperial measurements!

Maths - Long multiplication

Ryan used long multiplication for the first time today! Look at this fantastic sum he has managed to solve by himself! Well done Ryan, keep up the hard work!
