This week we learned about Pythagoras and how he was most known for triangles. We made a triangle that we knew two sides then we used maths to find what the last side was. We made optical illusion art and  made a woman but it could also be a vase. We learned about equivalent fractions and in groups we made a drama video about internet safety. We used Imovie to create a video.

This week we have been decorating our wall with new wallpaper and were working on making Mario designs. For it each table has a separate space for decorating.

We did 2 parts of a maths assessment for maths, it was very long and had loads of questions!

In Literacy we’re going to enter the 500 words challenge and we have typed some on Word. Some of us started with a set of unusual keys to give us some ideas.

We had our first trumpet lesson this week and it was so loud.

Our pumpkins are decomposing well although Larry the pumpkin looks like he might be drowning! Mr Crackle is turning mouldy.

We have been doing Junior Leaders and were practicing teaching games to each other. Junior leaders are when P6 takes out a class and teach games to them without a teacher. Also, we have been presenting our football presentations that we made before the holidays. We liked all of them and they all looked very colourful. We made Mario art. We drew an amazing picture of Mario and then we split it into four sections and drew different styles of Mario. One we all did was pointillism and then we chose 3 others! We also wore green and blue for eco day and we did an assembly for it too!
