We have had great fun in the class this week. In maths we can now all identify the sides, corners and angles in a shape. We can identify shapes that tile and have enjoyed making tile patterns. We are now learning about 3D shapes and some of us have used polydron to make nets.

Sasha B – I have learned about triangles. There are three kinds – isosceles which has two sides the same length, scalene which has three sides all different lengths and equilateral which has three equal sides.

Joe M – I really like doing tessellations and that means it’s a shape that tiles.

In writing this week we have been writing a biography of Queen Victoria. We used books and the internet to find information.

Ray J – I didn’t know that I knew so much about Queen Victoria until I started writing about it and I know that’s metacognition because we have been learning about that. It’s knowing what you know and being able to show it.

Teamworking – We worked with a partner to build a paper aeroplane. The tricky thing was we were each only allowed to use one hand and the other hand had to be behind our back.

Becky H – It was really hard and the best way to get the job done was by talking to each other.

Dave J – I thought it was quite easy and lots of fun.

Jamie and Sam having fun!

Have a great weekend.
