Hope you all enjoyed the October holidays!

This week we have been consolidating our knowledge of 2D and 3D shapes. We can now all identify the different types of triangles by looking at the length of the sides and the size of the angles of the triangle. We are now going to be learning about symmetry.

This week we wrote scary stories. We had to think about what makes a good scary story. We decided that a good scary story has detailed description, suspense, interesting characters and the author creates atmosphere by setting the scene and using the five senses to describe what is happening. The author also describes the character’s feelings to help us relate to the character. We wrote some fantastic scary stories which you read…if you dare….

We also created a picture of a creepy, old house using what we have been learning about perspective. We started by painting the sky and then used black card to build up a silhouette of a house, trees and bats to create a creepy scene.

Our buddies have also been learning about 2D shapes this week. We helped them to create a pumpkin picture using different 2D shapes. They had to name the shapes and count how many they had used. This was great fun!

Congratulations to Rachel and Craig from our class who gave a fantastic musical performance at assembly this morning. We wish them the best of luck in the Rotary Young Musicians Awards next Friday.

Hope you all have a nice weekend!
