Base 13 were very excited to welcome Brandon, from the Music Service, into class this afternoon to start our Music lessons this term. We used Garage Band on the iPads to start to make our own beats and rhythms.
Base 12 are going to enjoy this next week!

This afternoon, in Base 13, we have been testing different materials to see which is the best thermal insulator. We were challenged to find out which cup (china, cardboard, polystyrene or plastic) would keep the water the hottest, for the longest. Great teamwork Base 13!

Today in Year 5, we explored using a Gattegno chart to represent place value. We multiplied and divided numbers by 10, 100 and 1000 by moving counters up and down the chart. This has really helped us understand how numbers relate to eachother.
