Potato Maths and Star of the Week - 12th September 2014

As always it was a hard decision to choose two stars from a whole class of superstars but this week we have chosen Cody and KC. Cody has been following the golden rules all week and completing all of his jobs. KC asked Mrs Bond some excellent numeracy questions whilst she was working in the science garden to dig up potatoes; KC's questions inspired us to spend the next few days completing 'Potato Maths!' 

We used the potatoes that we dug up to practice our counting and writing numbers and some of us even had a go at estimating how many potatoes were in the bucket. We also arranged the potatoes into size order and used a bucket balance to find the heaviest and lightest potato. 

Now that we know exactly how many potatoes we dug up, we can ask Mrs Bridge to cook for the potatoes for us so that they can be served in our school lunches! 

Mrs Bridge cooked the potatoes and served them as part of our roast dinner on Thursday; they were delicious!
