Move It!

After working so hard on our marble tracks, we finally got to present them to the Junior Syndicate and our parents. We have had a great time making our marble tracks.

We found out that the marbles moved fastest on smooth surfaces and needed height to make them roll.

Our marble tracks all had to have: a start point, a corner, a drop and an end point.

Here are some of our finished marble tracks.

Maths

Room One has been focusing on statistics.  In this activity, Miss Charmley asked us what our favourite fruit was.  We drew a picture of our favourite fruit and then sorted them into the correct category.

Can you see what our favourite fruit is? 

Would this graph look the same for your family?

Marble Tracks

Our new topic is marble tracks. 

We watched some youtube clips of other children's marble tracks.  We then tested marbles on different surfaces.  We found out that marbles move better on hard surfaces and that they go faster if they are going down hill.  We then tried to make our own ones.  Some of us found it very tricky and had to keep trying to improve our marble tracks.  Here are some of our first attempts.  Let us know what you think of them.  Thanks for watching.

Could you make a marble track at home?
