What we’ve been doing…
Rounding fun!
The children in Year 4 have been using their place value knowledge to support their learning about rounding. They played a game with a partner to round to the nearest 100. What a fun, practical lesson we had whilst learning a new skill.
Yucky Fun!
In Year 4 we have been learning about solids and liquids and being able to identify what makes them a solid or liquid.
We discovered a problem with slime.
Slime is neither a solid nor a liquid, but a non-Newtonian fluid, a substance that behaves like a liquid in some situations and a solid in others, depending on the pressure applied.
When you apply force, like squeezing or hitting it, slime becomes more solid-like and resists deformation. However, when the force is removed, or when you let it drip, it flows and takes the shape of its container like a liquid.
We had lots of yucky fun investigating this.
