Year 2 entered a competition to grow potatoes, and since March Mrs Raybould, ably supported by Mrs Raw, has been tending to the plants.
They were harvested in time to enter the competition. In maths this morning Year 2 found out everything they could think of about the two types of potato.
We grew 1,444g or 1.444kg in total. The difference in the weight of the two crops was only 8g. The heaviest single potato was 85g and the lightest 1g – a difference of 84g. One type produced 22 potatoes, the other 28, so 50 in total and a difference of 6.
All that is left to decide is how we share 50 potatoes amongst 30 children fairly. And of course, to cook an eat them!
