Countdown

For maths today we had to learn the game countdown. Here is a video of Lotte and Miss Farr playing countdown and explaining their thinking. Countdown is a maths game where you have to pick 6 random cards (two large and four small) and then you have to use those cards and your basic facts knowledge to make a random three digit number. You can only use each number once and can only have whole numbers.

The numbers Lotte and Miss Farr selected and the number they are trying to make.

Harry's Reflection

Miro H's Interview

Interview with Grandma

This is the interview I conducted with my Grandma. I emailed her the questions and she emailed them back. It was hard to write the answers because I had to change them so that they weren't directed to me and to my blog readers. My favorite part was making the background. To be BTB (better than before) I could have made it prettier, e.g, added different fonts.

Russ Family Lockdown Games

lockdown games

The lockdown games is a thing that we do at my house we do activities like table tennis and monopoly. If you win you get electronic time. we did 8 games there were table tennis, monopoly, plank, connect four, holding breath, Bball shots, blind food tasting and makeup. My sister wanted to do that I didn't wont to do it but I thought I still get electronic time so I did it. So for the bball we have 5 shots and if we get one in you get 1 hour and if you get all them in you get 5 hours. That one was my favourite, I got four shots in the same with Jemma she got to shoot up closer because she doesn't play. In total, I got 8 and a half hours and Jemma got ten hours so we got a lot of time.
