Can You Tell the Time?

We've been learning how to tell the time in maths. We know the big hand counts the minutes and the small hand counts the hours. We know there are 60 minutes in an hour and we can tell the time on analogue and digital clocks. We can also tell the time using the English style of  'quarter past, half past and quarter to.'

Why not get even better at telling the time by playing these different time games? They are all good fun. Enjoy!

Tudor Jousting Game

Rich Tudor people loved to watch the jousting competitions where brave knights tried to knock each other off their horses. Each knight had their own 'coat of arms' and knights who were good became very famous like pop stars today!

You have to be very quick to win the jousting game in the court of King Henry VIII. Try to go as fast as you can and get close to the target  to be one of the best knights.

Good luck! Let me know how well you did.

Sound Experiments

Testing how to change volume and pitch using bottles filled with different amounts of water

We are learning how to be good scientists. We know that scientists ask questions about the world around them and then look for answers. To find answers they do tests, investigations and experiments. The results from their experiments help them find answers they can say are true. In our bottle experiment we found that the more water was in the bottle, the lower the pitch. A little water had a higher pitch. To change the volume we hit the bottles harder or softer.

Why not play this game which lets you experiment by playing different intruments and changing the pitch and volume.

Timelines

The Dragonfly group making a timeline.

We have been learning about history and timelines. They are a good way to learn how things have changed through history. There is a good animated timeline activity on the BBC website which shows you the history of the UK over the last 2,000 years. You can play it here.

But it does not have our theme area, The Tudors. To learn more about who the Tudors were you can read this website which has great information about life in England 500 years ago. Visit it here.

Make Your Wild Self!

We have had great fun making our 'wild selves' in class. We have been learning about "adaptation" how animals have different body parts to help them live in different habitats. This brilliant website lets you add different animal and insect body parts to make a whole new animal!

Why not let your family and friends have a go at making their wild self?

Learning About Symmetry

We have been learning about symmetry in class. We have learnt that symmetry can be found all around us. We were given a challenge to find out which capital letters of the alphabet have symmetry and which don't using a 'hit and miss' thinking map. We used mirrors to help us check. Some letters were quite difficult! Can you think of letters which have more than one line of symmetry?

Why not play a game to test how good you are at symmetry? Click on this link to play a game which asks do these shapes, pictures and letters have symmetry (are symmetrical) or no symmetry (not symmetrical.)

Classify Minibeasts Game

We have been learning to classify minibeasts. Here is a great game which uses a bee flying around a tree map to classify different minibeasts. Be sure to get a good look at each minibeast when deciding 'yes' and 'no'.

Number bonds

In maths we have been learning about number bonds to 10, 20 and 100. Learning number bonds helps us answer maths questions.

Click here to play a game of number bonds to 20. If you get it right the mummy starts to dance! (This is a Flash game so will not work on an iPad)

Measuring Weight

We've been reading scales to measure the weight of different things. We've learnt that you have to make sure the scale starts at zero, then work out each 'jump' on the scale to read it accurately.

We also did some weighing challenges e.g. find 12 things that weigh 50g.

Here is a game where you have to read different scales to measure the weight. Have a go and let me know how many you got right.

Thinking about teeth

We've been learning about teeth, what they are called and what they do. We learnt that different teeth have different shapes and do different things. We then made models of teeth using modelling clay, making sure we got the right number of each type of tooth and the right shape.

Can you remember the names of different teeth and what they do?

Multiplication Games

Have fun learning your multiplication calculations. Here is a good game for x3 and x4 to get you started. Click here for Space Race

And when you are good at that, why not try more tricky times tables, with lots of excellent games here.

Remember, our target is to know the answer in just three seconds!
