A Rougher Day at the Beach

Today we experienced much choppier (the term used to say the wind is whipping up the water so we have rougher conditions) water and to some extent the pictures show this. 

I'd like you to comment on the following:-

  • Which picture shows the rougher conditions the best? Explain why you think this.
  • How did the beach change with the rougher conditions?
  • Write what you felt as you were waiting to catch the big waves.
  • Thinking about those feelings, what extra dangers can seas like this pose to us as we swim?
Have a great weekend and we will see you for Education Outside the Classroom (EOTC) next week. Say some prayers for great weather!

Maths at the Beach

After such a massive effort with your endurance swimming on Wednesday it was great to have the chance to test your estimation and measuring skills. How did you go?

 Careful measuring in two different ways.
How close to the metre do you think his stride is?
