World Maths Day!!! 03/03/10
Room 13 have been celebrating World Maths. http://www.worldmathsday.com/2010/
During maths time we looked at weight using grams and kg. We used the Pods to look at http://www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk and went on to their great interactive weight links!
Later that morning Room 13 used to the Pods to play a range of maths games that make learning basic facts fun and enjoyable.
Some of the websites used were: mathletics, tutpup, funbrain, coolmaths4kids, ictgames etc!

Last week during Technology we were given a challenge to construct a bridge using only one piece of A4 paper...that's it! The bridge needed to support the heaviest weight possible. In groups we trialed several different designs.
New Task:
To design and build a bridge made of fettucine!
Your bridge needs to:
* Support a 500 gram weight (a block of butter)
* Span a 35 cm gap.
Resources:
* 500 gram packet of dried fettucine
* Hot glue guns
* Hot glue!
