Maths and Reading in Room 18 The Fantastic Foxes 30th March 2015

Today the Fantastic Foxes Retold a short animation clip called " Ride of passage"

Students placed each picture in order from beginning to end. Then they described what 

would happen in each picture

In maths today we looked at doubles. Like 1+1= 2, 2+2= 4, 3+3=6 for a quick warm-up. Next the Triangles and Hexagons focused on using the largest number first then they added on. The Circles and Pentagons focused on adding tens. We used happy hundreds and our number cards to help us.

How to make a Lava Lamp- The Fantastic Foxes

On Friday we placed different materials on the table to create our very own lava lamp. Vegetable oil, water, food colouring and berroca are just some of the materials we used to create our amazing lava lamp. Many of us had a go at placing the berocca in the bottle as we watched bubbles go up and down creating molecular polarity!


Watch this clip of the Fantastic Foxes creating a Lava Lamp!


Food colouring added with water and oil


       Is that a jar of jam? I dont think so.....thats our lava lamp!
