Usain Bolt - could he improve?

We had fun this week investigating Usain Bolt's 100m world record race at Beijing in 2008.  

Have a look at the video we produced for Education Bradford's maths challenge.  

We had to pack a lot into their 30second time limit!  Look out for the Usain's signature pose at the end!

 

Well done: Fai-to cup!

Great effort last week. We've won a cup! That was a tough game... They put the pressure on but you pulled it off!

Fai-to! This one's a battle!

Looks like we need to work even harder at this one.  Keep it up... you're doing great!

More Zondlers!

I love the way people appear twice as they come back to try and improve their scores. Fabulous!

Sumdog stars

Already we have 2 children with loads of correct this week.  Well done Patrick & Joshua!

New Fai-to challenge!

Great start Year 5!  Will we win a cup this time?  I know you'll work hard... good luck!

Zondle tables achievements

Look at how we're doing on our new gaming  shhh! :-) learning website...


These are great scores!  Keep it up.

Apparently these are our trickiest questions so far.  Do you know the answers to these?  You could blog the answer to help other people if you like!

Top 9 children for accuracy on Sumdog

See more graphs in the posts below all about the latest Sumdog statistics.  We are seeing real improvements in quick recall of maths facts.  Well done!

Sumdog accuracy

Find how here who is getting the most answers correct. 

Here are all the children with an accuracy of more than 80%.  That means for every 10 questions you get asked, at least 8 of them you get right.

Remember:  Don't let others use your account.  They'll either lower your scores or make your personal learning programme suit them not you.  Sumdog/Mangahigh will stop you learning key skills you need and move you on to something harder and innappropriate.  Games will get too hard. If someone in your family (adult or child) would like a free account, let me know and we can set it up!

Can you blog saying which are the top 5 most accurate players on Sumdog?

Sumdog improvements of more than 3%

Nearly the whole class has made improvements since we started on Sumdog.  Here's the children who have improved more than 3%.  Everyone's working really hard.  Keep it up!

Mangahigh: Will we be winners?

Well done all the people that are taking part in the Fai-to challenge.

Only 4 hours to go and I'm very hopeful that we're going to win our first Fai-To!  Keep it up Year 5!

Excellent Expressionist Art from Y5

Enjoy looking at our recent artwork.  We considered expressions that Victorian children would make when they worked down coal mines and in factories.  If you live nearby, keep an eye out on the Saltaire Arts Trail as we're hoping to have them on view there too!

Thanks to Caitlin B & Caitlin M for working together to create this.

Real Maths Challenge B - Shape

We did lots of investigations into shapes around us before  being able to produce these videos.  We have entered the top one into the Real Maths Challenge.  We wish we could have uploaded more they were so good!  Well done for the great work Year 5.

 

Fai-to challenge

Well done on Round 2 (Ding! Ding! Max) to all those who took part. Persistence paid off. Here's the mention on the Mangahigh website. Good luck in Round 3!

Year 5's Victorianesque photo fun

Year 5 enjoyed using a clever iPod app to turn our modern day photos into this fabulous vintage look.

Thanks to Caitlin B & Danielle for putting this video together for us.
