Well, it is now October, so Mr Eden and the class are awaiting the arrival of the Great Pumpkin…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also this week we have been deepening our knowledge of quadrilaterals by focussing on a particular type of quadrilateral, the triangle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We looked at how the length of the sides, and the sizes of the angles inside a triangle, can help to classify it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We took time with the Cuisenaire rods to create these different types of triangle, then we found them through pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In PE, we have begun a new Striking unit, that of learning to play the game 4 Square!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Literacy we are bringing our work on Friend or Foe to a close by finding out more about the author (Michael Morpurgo) and creating presentations to deliver next week. Stay tuned for those!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We learned the term “search engine” and discussed how to make an effective search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Leader in Me the class has been talking about the impact of proactive and reactive responses to situations. Brainstorm a list of proactive phrases that can be used by everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
