Vera's Dad brought a Rubbish Truck to School

Vera's dad (Tim) brought a brand new rubbish truck to school. He showed us how they scoop up the big bins.

We learnt that the trucks use hydraulic fluid to lift the arm, the fluid is purple. (Oscar)

Girls can drive the trucks, they are often better drivers. (Amelie)

The rubbish produces methane gas, that gas is used to power houses. (Regan)

The methane can create an explosion, people have to be well trained. (Ashton)

Rosie's If I was In Charge of the World Poem

If I were in Charge of the World

If I were in charge of the world,

I’d cancel stinky cows that always

have a bad smell when you

go close to them.

I will even cancel

the little baby ones.

If I were in charge of the world,

There would be floating people

so they don’t have to pollute

with cars and there will even

be floating robbers so we can see

them steal our stuff.

If I were in charge of the world,

You wouldn’t have any landfill

so the earth wouldn’t even have

a single bit of glad wrap.

If I were in charge of the world,

A computer would be for free

and a person who always plays

the same game and sometimes

takes selfies, would still be

allowed to be in charge of the world.

Measurement

We are learning about millilitres and litres. We had to measure and compare different amounts of liquid. We used different sized containers and measuring jugs.

Room 14 Quotes about our Learning

"I learnt how to measure using a measuring jug" Jamie

"We used dye to help us measure, this helped us see the marks on the jug clearer" Isabelle

"We saw that 1000mls is the same as 1L" Rosie

"I learnt that 250mls is equal to 1 cup" Oscar

As a class we also worked out that there are 4 cups in a litre because if you add 250 mls together 4 times it will equal 1 litre, we could also say 250mls multiplied by 4.
