Dear Year 4 Pupil,
This
week’s
task is slightly different. Now, much as I am not a competitive person, last year Class 4 won the filled jars competition and got the extra playtime! The current
Y
ear 5 will know that I tend to encourage everyone to bring in a jar (or more if you can), and they might be trying to win the extra playtime again this year.
I have brought plenty of jars in from home (some teeny-weeny ones too). So, I would like to encourage you to clean the jars (removing labels cleanly), decorate them, and then fill them with a little something (sweets seem to be the favourite option so far).
Given that this is not too terribly mathematical! I would like you to conduct some estimating tasks as you complete the activity:
As you wash the jars…
E
stimate how much water the jar will hold – then measure it.
As you decorate the jar…
E
stimate how much ribbon you will need to wrap around it – then measure it.
As you fill it with sweets (or something else) …
E
stimate how many jelly babies (yum!) it will take to fill it – then count them.
Come on Year 4 – let’s win the extra playtime. Remember to bring the jars in on Friday ready for the family fun day on Saturday.
Have fun
