This video was written, directed and made by Kaitlyn.  It is about the 10 New Zealand nurses who were murdered by a German U-boat.  They were aboard 'The Marquette', a boat heading to help injured at Gallipoli.

Length activity "I can correctly measure a range of sized snakes and then add them together.  We know the difference between the long and short snakes."

MEASUREMENT

Each class member participated in an experiment that used a variety of mathematical concepts.  This was an experiment out of Figure it Out Level 3/4 called 'Candle Trials'.  Children got to...

-Use a timer to identify how many seconds it takes for a candle to go out once a jar is place over top of it.

-Fill jars with water and estimate and measure the capacity

-Work out the average time it took for candles to burn out

-Compare the time taken to the capacity of the container

-Make predictions about the time it would take to burn a candle in another container (i.e. 2000 mls)

Everybody enjoyed this hands on experiment.
