🔴 Happy Red Nose Day 🔴
Science Day with Mrs Ward: The theme this year was time, so we linked it to our Jigsaw learning about being healthy and exercise, and had timed activities on a circuit. We had to estimate how many we'd get done in a certain amount of time. Then we measured our pulse in a minute half way through and at the end. We found that we under estimated how many we could do in the time given. ⏲️⌛️
