DT Week Chinese Style.

These are the ingredients that we used :
spring onions
mushroom
carrots
peppers
oil
sweet chili
pastry
beansprouts
soy sauce

WHAT TO DO:

First  turn on the oven to 180 degrees and chop up the ingredients. 

#

Then turn on the heat and start mixing the vegetables. 

After, a while, when the adult can tell if its ready, then switch, but if you're a child then it will be approximately fifteen minutes or twenty minutes. 

Lay out your pastry diagonally with the corner facing you. Pour the vegetables and roll once and fold the sides, seal with a little water. 

Finally cook in the oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Very Tasty with chili dipping sauce.

Don't forget to tidy up afterwards!

Money Bags

Four Years 5 students have had their maths work published online by nrich maths. 

Have a look Here!

This is what they did:

First of all, we found 15 play coins and a painting tray to help us think about the investigation and find a solution to the maths problem. After that,we decided that we definitely needed one bag with 1 pence in it.or we would not be able to pay for something that cost pence!

Afterwards, we figured out the all the numbers we would need.Wso we put 2p in our second pot.  We tried 3p in the third pot and this gave us more prices:
1p (1p);  2p (2p);  3p (3p);  4p (3p + 1p);  5p (3p + 2p);  6p (3p + 2p + 1p)
...but we couldn’t make 7.

So we tried again, this time with 4p in the third pot.  We could then make all of the prices up to 7p.
1p (1p);  2p (2p);  3p (2p + 1p);  4p (4p);  5p (4p + 1p);  6p (4p + 2p);  7p (4p + 2p + 1p).

So we tried again, this time with 4p in the third pot.  We could then make all of the prices up to 7p.
1p (1p);  2p (2p);  3p (2p + 1p);  4p (4p);  5p (4p + 1p);  6p (4p + 2p);  7p (4p + 2p + 1p).

So we knew we had found the solution!  We tried all the possibilities and didn’t give up because Cabot Primary children are resilient!  PS Our paint tray actually has six pots in it.  We can see a pattern building up and are now going to think about how to investigate the maximum number of prices we can make if we use all six pots.

When we looked again at the number in each pot, we noticed that each number was double the previous one. Since double 8 is 16, we put 16 coins into the next empty pot so we had five pots containing, 1p,2p,4p,8p,and 16p. We knew the maximum number we could now pay is 31p (our existing 15p plus the extra pot of 16p). We checked that we could now make all of the prices from 15p to 31p (which we could – by adding the new pot of money to each of the combinations that we had already found).  We knew that we had found a system and that the sixth pot should therefore contain 32p (which is double 16p) and that we would  be able to make all of the prices up to a maximum of 63p.We then came up with this sequence to show how much money twelve pots (two paint trays) would contain:
1p,    2p,    4p,    8p,    16p,    32p,    64p,    £1.28,    £2.56,   £5.12,     £10.24     £20.48!

Poetry Week

What a full week in year 5.

To celebrate Black History Month we have been learning 'Isn't my name Magical' by James Berry. We have looked at poetic devices and studied the meaning of his poem. Using our partnership skills we learn verses of the poem off by heart to perform to the school. We also explored websites and listened to poetry readings.

On the last Friday half term year 5 and year 6 went to go watch a famous poet; Micheal Rosen. You may know him as a children's poet. He performed a lot of different poems. You may know 'Chocolate Cake and 'Breathing'. He was very good. 

Welcome to the Year 5 Blog!

We welcome you to the Year 5 Blog. A place for our pictures, thoughts and ideas.
