Having learned about Rio Harbour as part of their Seven Natural Wonders of the World topic, the class decided they wanted to learn more about Brazil and the statue of Christ the Redeemer.

In class, we watched a video of the statue being repaired and listened to some examples of famous Brazillian music.

The children created posters in their jotters encouraging visitors to come and see Cristo Redentor.  They included lots of interesting facts, persuasive language, and even some Brazillian Portuguese- ótimo!

After being introduced to our exciting new maths resources during Maths Week last week, P5a’s Spheres group have been enjoying using the geo-boards as part of their grid-references topic.  They designed patterns and pictures and wrote out the corresponding grid references to see if their partner could recreate their image.

The Cubes have also been using the geo-boards as part of their perimeter and area topic.  They created a floor-plan for a house and measured it out in their jotters before recreating the design on their geo-boards.
