Multiplication Fun!

We have just recently started the highly anticipated multiplication tables in school this week. Our skip counting is pretty good so we’re doing pretty well!

Sing along to these songs and rhymes for our multiples of 8’s. Then test your speed with them too!

Can you win the multiples race against the aliens?

Can you beat Jack in an 8’s mulitples test?

We can count by our 8’s with no trouble!

Good luck! 🙂

Science Week 2019

We had amazing fun experimenting with Light as part of Science Week!

We investigated what objects can and cannot be seen in the dark in groups.

We explored different uses of mirrors in pairs.

We experimented with refraction and the bending of light in pairs.

We observed the different objects that light is able to fully go through (transparent), can partially go through (translucent) and can’t go through it at all (opaque) in pairs.

Multiplication Tables: x8

 

We started multiplication this month! We’ve been practising skip counting since September, so we’re finding it pretty easy 🙂

Challenge yourself to count faster and faster in 8s as the video speeds up!

These two videos will help you to practise your tables, and quiz you to see if you really know them.

For girls (and parents) that love a Maths trick, here’s one about multiples of 8.

Science Week 2019

Our class spent Science Week investigating Light.

The class was divided into three stations.  Everyone worked in pairs, and read the instructions of each experiment carefully, to figure out what to do.

The class especially enjoyed using torches to investigate if materials were opaque, transparent or translucent.  We had to be very careful pouring out the water when we investigated refraction.  We saw funny reflections of ourselves when we looked at concave and convex mirrors.

Afterwards, the class reflected on what they learned, what they enjoyed and what they found challenging.

The highlight of the week was our Science Morning on Thursday 14th November.  Thank you to all of the parents, grandparents and siblings who visited Room 9.  We hope you learned a lot!
