Maths

This week we have been learning about fractions. We have found out that they are equal parts of a whole. Watch this video to remind yourself...

This weeks activity...

In both DT and Science we have thought about what makes vehicles move the furthest or the fastest. Take a look at 'Bloodhound' which is hoping to break the record for the land speed record!

Can you evaluate the Bloodhound vehicle? What do you think is the best thing about it? Do you like the way it looks? What is it that makes it go so fast? What mark would you give it out of 10 and why? 

You could also find out about some more amazing machines by watching Grace or Catie on iplayer!
