This week we continued our math unit on measuring but moved on from perimeter and area to mass and capacity. The students used scales to help them weigh and solve problems with mass, learning the difference and relationships between grams and kilograms. We also started learning about capacity and measuring with litres and millilitres!
During unit time, the students finished working on their books and videos about animals which have recently gone extinct before digging into past mass extinctions, such as the one that resulted in the end of the dinosaurs.
During PE, the students were real risk-takers as they practiced track and field events such as the standing long jump, skipping, javelin throw, ball throw, hurdles, sprints and 750m run.
Please remember to come cheer for them at Sports Day on Friday, April 19th.
