Pancake Races

 

On the Tuesday of Maths Week, the children in Classes 1 and 2 measured ingredients and made pancakes.

The children of Classes 3 and 4 had science challenges.  Class 3 had to stop ice cubes from melting by using insulating
materials.  They used stop watches to time their observations, had to record their results in charts and tables and they
scrutinised their data.

Class 4 were told the scary story of 'The Ice Man's Hand'.  They were then given a frozen hand that they had to insulate
using a variety of materials.  The children had to design their own methods of observing, measuring melted water accurately and recording results.  They also had to be very accurate with the timings of their observations, even working during break to ensure accurate results!

In the afternoon we had Pancake Races!  Lots of parents came to watch and we had a lovely afternoon!
