In maths today we wanted to know how many bodies would cover a shape. We had to draw a shape using chalk and then we had to estimate how many people we thought would fit in our shape. We had to check by lying down next to each other so we could work out how many people it took to cover the shape.

Healthy sandwich

This week we have been writing lists of ingredients to create a healthy sandwich. We have used the big book 'Max makes a sandwich'. Next week we will create our own healthy sandwich and then eat it.

Next week

This is our coin coke experiment. We took two shiny bronze 10c coins and put them into a bowl and then added coke. We took pictures everyday for one week to show the effects the coke has on the coins. We will publish the last photo next week. What do you think will happen? What does coke do to your insides?
