During Home Learning when we were learning about capacity we read a book called “Room for Ripley” by Stuart J Murphy. We decided after reading the book that it would be nice to have a class pet to look after when we returned to onsite learning. As part of our Maths unit we explored how to measure the capacity of the fish tank and the best container to use to fill the fish tank. We also invited everyone to choose their favourite 2 names for our fish. We all voted and the most popular names were Goldy and Sir Little.

In our first week back we set up our tank in readiness for our new arrivals. We measured the capacity of our tank and worked out how many cups and litres we needed. In our second week we researched information about goldfish and did watercolour paintings of our new pets. This week we are going to create Google slideshows about goldfish.

Our special friends arrived on Thursday the 28th October.
