First world war Mascots

Real lived animals can be mascots.

Mascots represent something like a group or a team.

Some other animals went to war but didn’t go there to work.

Some people think that mascots brings you good luck.

Soldiers bought small donkeys as a mascot.

Some soldiers were overseas and they had mascots.

Maths learnt this year with Recognition

Cardboard boxes.

One morning Mrs Mellick came in with humongous boxes A-Z  after she had named the boxes she put it in order of alphabetical. Then we had to have a good guess of which one is the smallest to biggest boxes. Then we had groups of 3. My group had to solve out what is the Length, Width and the Depth.  I have learnt that estimating is a little bit fun. I have known that when we do estimating some people go for the one that looks like the biggest.

We have learnt to find the volume in which box is the biggest. A volume is the amount of spaces you have inside the boxes and you could find out how you could find which is the biggest.
