Marshmallow measurement

On the first day of Term 3 we had a fun volume challenge to solve. Mrs Millett explained that she intended to buy lots of marshmallows for a party. The supermarket had a sale on marshmallows: 1000 for $10.00. Mrs Millett didn't know how many 2 litre ice cream containers she would need to store this many marshmallows. 

First we worked out how many marshmallows would fit in a variety of different sized containers. This helped us to calculate the average volume of one marshmallow. 

Then we had to work out the volume of 1000 marshmallows, and finally figure out how many 2 litre ice cream containers would be need to hold this amount. 

It was heaps of fun and quite tricky too, but at least we got to eat some marshmallows at the end!!!

Johnny Danger book review

Johnny Danger 

Room 20 has been reading "Johnny Danger" by Peter Millett in class and it is brilliant  ACTION packed book. It has inspired us to be secret agents,  it is a mind blowing book with lots of twists and turns.

Peter has made up lots of funny and creative characters like Doctor   

Disastrous and his funny number 2s (they are his henchmen).

Johnny Danger is a top awesome agent with his bogey bombs  chewable parachute and his mega methane pills. 

Johnny Danger and his sidekick Penelope go to Ikki Ikki Bunga island to stop the terrible Dr Disastrous and the R.U.D.E.E virus.

(Random Unexpected Digital Effect Embarrasser)

Room 20 thought that Johnny Danger is a very interesting book because its so much like James Bond with all his top secret gadgets 

like the spy car,viper and his super umbrella.   

We think the book would appeal to any boy or girl from ages 7-13.
READ IT!
