Maths board games.

Wow, Year 4 didn't realise how many board games use maths! Whether it's counting, money, decimals or measure we use maths in games lots without even noticing. 
So, we decided to make our own games. We've had lots of fun, planning, making and playing the games.

Viking oatcakes

The Vikings travelled for long periods of time so needed food that they could take with them. Oatcakes were made using oats, flour, water and added fruit. Today we weighed, measured, stirred, mixed, cooked and tasted! 
Some children thought they were delicious, others thought they'd much prefer a pizza!

Oobleck

What do you call the substance that had the properties of a solid and a liquid? Oobleck of course! 
We had so much messy fun making it. When you dip your hand in slowly it feels like a liquid but punch it and it will feel like a solid. Fascinating!
