NUMERACY - TOPIC EXPERIMENT

Last week, we combined our topic with developing our numeracy, science and ICT skills. We wanted to know 'What might have happened if the birds hadn't eaten the bread trail that Hansel left?' So, we needed to explore whether or not a bread trail left in the woods would get eaten. We made our predictions. Some of us thought all the bread would be eaten, others thought that the trees would hide the bread from the birds and it would remain.
In groups, we had to measure a trail 4 metres long using metre rulers and trundle wheels. We then divided a piece of bread into 8 pieces and spread them along our trails. We checked the bread every day for a week. We made bar charts on the computers to show what we found out.

Here we are measuring, and checking our bread trails.
