6 people� out of� Year 5 went out with Julie to play connect four and and learn are 7� times tables at the same time. Lowri and I were in partners and in our game we didn’t get an proper winner because 7x times tables was both of our favorite times tables. In this game we kept answering the questions right so what we had to do was put a time limit on the questions so we started at 5 seconds, then it went to 4 seconds and finally we ended up at� 3 seconds. We carried on answering the questions right, so Julie said we had to change the rules so for the next question we used our eights.� The winner was Lowri (just).

babette =4/5� & issy=5/5

we played a game called four in a line. the rules were, we were in pairs and player 1 asked player 2 a question in the 7 times table and if they got the question right they got put a piece in the board. It was a very fun way to practice the 7� times table. Maya was unsure about it at first but by the end she was answering all of the questions.

Molly= 10/10 & Maya= 10/10

The spelling group seemed to have some great fun today,� while playing a spelling test version of noughts and crosses.

They all got into pairs and had� to spell a word correctly before being able to place a marker on the board.

Iona won both her games against Joe, was this good tatics at placing her crosses on the board or was this that she had been practicing her spellings this week?

Lewis played against Julie – Lewis won one game and the other was a draw…ooo it was close!

Both Max and Babette each won a game each – who can be declared the winner next time?

Seth and Eleanor battled against each other and the result was a draw and a win to Eleanor – lets go for a win next time Seth

Well done to Iona, Lewis, Babette and Eleanor who got all their spellings correct and 2 leaf points each!

The videos below show the different ways that� seeds are created and then� ‘dispersed’ (moved from one place to another..)

This video shows the creation of a seed through pollination

This one shows how some flowering plants create fruits with seeds inside them…�

This one shows the different ways that the seeds are dispersed
