With our knowledge of 2D shape, we have been exploring tessellation.
We created our own tessellation patterns by hand and then used Shapes within Word to create tessellations too!
We used the shape tool, the fill tool and learnt the keyboard shortcuts to copy and paste.
We have been investigating 2D shapes including more complex shapes such as rhombus, parallelogram, octagon. We created posters explaining the properties of these shapes including the number of sides and the number of vertices.
This week in Number Talks, we have been revising all the different addition strategies we have learnt. We selected a chilli challenge calculation and then completed the addition calculation using 4 different strategies – adding in chunks, vertical calculations, place value and compensation.
We had great discussion about which strategy we preferred. We also recognised that sometimes our favourite strategy might not always be the quickest or most efficient. Great work, P4/5!
Homework will resume next week (Monday 12th January) for a 4 week block.

It will also be posted on the Homework Channel within the class Team which can be accessed via Glow. This is also where you will find the weekly homework grid and any additional resources.
Any issues accessing the homework via Glow, please let Mrs Conetta or Mrs Eccleston know.
We had lots of fun at our Christmas party this afternoon. We took part in musical statues, Christmas corners and Christmas action games. We had a great time dancing and enjoyed a snack too! When we got back to our classes, a sack of present had been left for the class. Thank you, Santa!!
We have been revising numbers 0-30 in French. We used Numicon to make the numbers and our partner had to say the number in French. Bravo!
The class have been working hard to earn Secret Student points. One of the school values is our focus each week and our secret student has to demonstrate this value.
We achieved our 20 point target on Monday and the class were rewarded with time at the play park. Everyone had great fun!
