Hello families,
This week, our class put their knowledge of testing materials and designs, bridges and measurement to work as their challenge was to build a bridge using only popsicle sticks and liquid glue. Students created a blueprint plan for how they wanted their bridge to look before beginning construction. Once completed, the bridge will have to span a gap of 25 cm and see if it can hold a mass of 60 1 gram cubes. In art we have been looking at the impressionist paintings of Claude Monet and created our own version using acrylic paint, oil pastel and construction paper.
Math with Ms. Yasin
this week was full of estimating sums and differences. Students used their knowledge of rounding to the nearest 10 to estimate answers for addition and subtraction questions. The group had insightful discussions around when they could use estimation in their daily lives. For example, they could use estimation when shopping, when planning how many birthday party supplies are needed or when measuring length or distance.
