Rainbow Jelly Maths - Part II

We completed our Rainbow Jelly maths learning by creating colourful layered jellies using our plans and measuring with cups, tablespoons and teaspoons. We 'sold' our jellies to the junior class - you can see that they really enjoyed eating them!

Rainbow Jelly Maths

Our maths strand unit this term is volume and capacity. As part of this we have been using teaspoons, tablespoons and cups to plan layered rainbow jellies that we will create, eat and sell. This week we have been planning and calculating the amount of millilitres of each colour we will need for each stripe in different shaped cups and jars. Next week, we create!

 

PLAN & CALCULATE

What colours will my layers be? How many layers do I want? How many millilitres will each layer be? What is the volume of my completed rainbow jelly?

Targa Car Rally

The Targa Car Rally zoomed past Lee Stream School today, we loved watching the rally and touring cars, lots of them tooted, waved and threw out lollies for us! One car even threw some gold coins to us which we will use to buy some more plants for our garden. Lots of cars pulled over to show us inside their cars and to pull skids and make us feel like the pitstop crew because we helped with their tyres! We are a lucky school, today was a great day!
