Book Week - Visiting Author!

What a great way to kick off #isppbookweek with an assembly by our visiting author - David M. Schwartz





He has written many different books but they all have one thing in common - wonderings with a splash of maths. 





Two lucky students from our class were called up onto the stage to help Mr. Schwartz solve one of his wonderings. Well done Aoife and Albert for being such awesome risk takers!



We also got to count and add popcorn! How much does a million pieces of popcorn look like? Well we thought a lot! So we set to work counting.....we didn't have a million pieces of popcorn but we did see a photo of a school in America that did have a million pieces of popcorn and it was HUGE! Mr Schwartz did however have bags with 1 piece, 10 pieces, 100 pieces, 1000 pieces, 10,000 pieces and another picture of a bag with 100,000 pieces in it!






It was HUGE!
