RABBIT HUTCHES
We made a 3D net plan of a hutch for a rabbit to use. We needed to use an appropriate scale to decide how long each part should be. We then used our plan to make a 3D scale model of the hutch.
WHAT IS AN AVERAGE CARROT?
Taking inspiration from the many carrots that feature in the book, we decided to investigate what an average carrot is like. We measured the length and weighed various different carrots and then used this information to find the mean length and weight.
CARROT COCKTAILS
We also made our own carrot cocktails using carrot juice and orange juice. To make the carrot juice, we needed to strain the carrot pulp to obtain the liquid. We used different percentages as a ratio (e.g. 20% and 80%, 40% and 60%) to try different flavour combinations. We needed to measure each quantity carefully after calculating the ml of each liquid. After we had made each cocktail, we did a taste test and graded each cocktail out of 10!
MATHS TRAIL
We also needed to use our orienteering and maths skills in PE. We used our map to find various maths challenges around the school grounds. We needed to answer each one before moving on to the next. Some tasks involved us to measure length, weight and capacity, other tasks tested our knowledge of the time and other puzzles involved us navigating a course and adding up tricky totals!
I would be interested to know what size is an average carrot, and what is the best ratio for a carrot cocktail? Bens Mum
ReplyDeleteI'd love to know if you persuaded Darcy to try the juice....?? Looks like you had a fun week. I know Darcy really enjoyed it. Nicky.
ReplyDeleteme and my sisters had a go at making the carrot cocktails at home and they were yummy. Melissa year 5
