As mathematicians, we have been comparing and ordering 4 digit numbers. We really enjoyed playing a game where we had to select a digit card and decide which place value column to place it in to build the biggest possible 4 digit number!
As scientists, we explored how sound travels by conducting an experiment. An instrument was played and every time we heard it we moved back 10 steps. We repeated this process until we couldn’t hear the sound anymore!
As historians, we explored how Rome was ruled, looking in detail at how Julius Caesar rose to power. We created timelines showing this.
