Brilliant Bridges!

Today, Mrs MacDonald set you a fantastic challenge! I am very jealous that I missed this exciting lesson- aren't you lucky?!

She gave you this brief and asked you to build a bridge, with a budget of only £100. Points were awarded by the judges for safety, balance, strength, being under budget and design.

3 of the 5 groups scored 5 points! Well done!

Here are the fantastic bridges:

They look marvellous- some look very sturdy indeed. Well done!

St. Thomas' Class Blog!

Bottle Cap Art

At last we can reveal why you have all been collecting bottle caps for us! Thank you to everyone who saved bottle caps for us.

Yesterday we began our recycled art project. Using an old rug and lots of bottle caps, we're hoping to make a beautiful piece of art. We designed our mosaic and started to place the bottle caps into each section. Here are some pictures of the work in progress- super teamwork!

Next week, we will fill the gaps and carefully use glue guns to attach the bottle caps to the rug securely. We can't wait to show it off at the Summer Art Exhibition on 6th June!

Super Recycled Cars!

Last week for homework, you were asked to design a car from recycled materials. Lots of you went above and beyond the call of duty and not only designed the car, but made a model too! Here are the fantastic models:

Factors and Multiples

This week we have been learning about factors and multiples. Try this fun (and very funny!) game to practise your new skills.

Remember:

Factors are numbers that divide exactly into another number.
The factors of 12, for example, are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12.

Multiples are really just extended times tables.

The multiples of 2 are all the numbers in the 2 times table:
2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and so on.

The multiples of 10 are all the numbers in the 10 times table:
10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and so on.
