12th to 16th June
We have had a week full of investigations!
We have done a series of maths investigations including ones based on permutations and combinations as well as number sequences and patterns. We have also reviewed calculations and multi-step maths problems.
We had a special day on Thursday when we set up our own CSI lab. We had to test and describe five different powders and use chromatography to investigate the ink from four pens. We then had to compare our results with those of a powder and ink found at the crime-scene and using a table of evidence found at suspects' homes, suggest the name of the individual most likely to have committed the crime.
In addition, we spent some time on our design and technology project, making our axle/cam mechanisms and making progress with the figures that will move on top of our structures.
