Having won the district dodgeball competition at the Salt Ayre Sports Festival in May, a team of 8 boys travelled to Blackpool as part of "Team Lancaster" to represent the area at the Lancashire School Games in Stanley Park. The dodgeball tournament was designed to be a participation event, so we…

We are learning about different measures and today we focused on mass. We estimated before we weighed the different objects. We found our estimations improved the more that we did it.
