Car Rally?

No - not really :)

We had fun this morning playing a grid game to finish off our work on mapping/grids/scale drawings.

First we had to rule up a grid on the page where 1cm: 1 km(or you could use grid paper!)

Add seven checkpoints and start and finish squares. Label these A-G

Players must travel to each checkpoint in order, driving only on the grid lines.

Now get a die and some highlighters ( a different colour for each player :) )to begin playing.

1. Roll the die and move that many kilometres towards the first checkpoint. A number 5 = 5cm (5km)

2. Player 2 then rolls the die. Continue until both players reach the finish

3. Players count how many kilometres they travelled from start to finish

Scores: First to finish: 10 points

               Player who travelled the shortest distance: 10 points

Have a play and let us know what you think :)

Even Sandy does the BST!

Today was the second day of the BST (Basic Skills Test). Everyone had to do reading, language and maths.

Sandy, our otter from Sandaig Primary School in Glasgow, had a go at doing the test as well   :)

She was happy with her efforts, tried as hard as she could, enjoyed the experience but is glad that it is over for another year.

Here are some photos we took of our clever otter friend  :lol:

Working Together

Today we had a problem to solve in Maths - Capacity & Volume.
We had to make a 3D regular shape of 25 cubic cm using centicube blocks.

When we tried it individually, we couldn’t work it out. We tried and tried.
BUT
When we worked together in a group, we shared our ideas and came up with a solution!

Here’s what we came up with - one of the shapes is irregular and two are regular. Can you see which is which?
