This week in class we learned about alliteration. Alliteration is the repetition of the same sound or letter at the beginning of each or most of the words in a sentence.

Tongue twisters contain alliteration. Try and say this popular tongue twister out loud!

Peter Piper

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
Where’s the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?

 

We wrote our own sentences using alliteration and some of us wrote poems containing alliteration. Have a look 

“I liked the tongue twisters” J

“I found it quite challenging to link letters and ideas” K

In Maths, we worked out the perimeter of different shapes.

“In a square all the sides are equal so if we know the size of one of the sides we can times it by four and work out the perimeter” L

“I found perimeter easy” A

“It was hard to measure exactly using the ruler” E

 

We learned about triangles. Here are some triangle facts.

“There are 3 types of triangle, scalene, isosceles and equilateral” L

“In an equilateral triangle all the sides and angles are the same” E

“An isosceles triangle has two equal sides” R

 

“None of the sides are equal in a scalene triangle” E
