As I was renewing some of the diplays in the class this week, I realised that many will not have seen the finished pieces of weaving that the children did in class at the start of the year. They look so good that I am leaving them up a little longer.
This week we have been extending our understanding of nets of 3D shape by linking our learning to our topic on flight. We have been learning about the Montgolfier brothers who developed the first hot air balloon. The children were tasked with making a cube basket and hot air balloon to build on their learning, and further develop their craft technolohy skills.
We have also been out exploring what the perimeter and area of a shape are, it was great to see them problem solve and use the skills knowledge they have to try and work out the perimeter of the football pitch.
