Muddy maths

Over the last few weeks we have been using real life conundrums in our maths lessons to help us to apply what we have learned this year.
So far we have 'measured the splash' working out how big a splash the Olympic divers make to help judge the dive and we have tried to eork out how much concrete the builders used in the foundations of out new building.
Here are some photos of us having fun with our learning!

Broomscott Common

This last term has been a term of 2 halves weather wise. We thought Summer would never arrive! However this has not deterred the school from visiting and sampling what the sites have to offer.

Rowan Tree Class (years 3 & 4) have had numerous trips to both settings. They have taken photos to compare particular areas throughout the year, they have observed the bird boxes and frog spawn, compared the temperature inside and outside the protective sapling covering and discussed the implications to growth, especially in the snow and created a data base using data loggers to compare temperatures, light and coverage with the school field.

We’re all looking forward to seeing what this Summer has to offer.

Look for further information about the site here:

Nuthatch in the quiet area

In May a pair of nesting nuthatches were spied in the quiet area.Patient children were able to photo the parents going to feed their babies.

Can you see the nuthatch?
