Maths Burst: Line of Reflective Symmetry and creative literacy.
Today we were learning to define line/ reflective symmetry and complete reflections of given 2D and 3D objects, with and without mirrors.
In literacy we read chapter 4 together as a think aloud then created the castle using Lego, scratch and junk models.
Introduction to Quaternity
Today we were lucky to have the experts in from Quaternity. Quaternity is a natural chess evolution which develops intuitive thinking along with strategy and tactics.
Line of Reflective Symmetry
We are working in partnership with University of Glasgow to implement MathsBURST in our classroom. Today we were learning to define reflective symmetry, complete reflections of given 2D shapes and reflect 2D shapes over horizontal axes. We all enjoyed using the mirrors to visualise, predict and check. We are also going to use this strategy and apply it in our project based learning to draw famous landmarks found in our chosen country.

West Lothian Bike Library
We had a very exciting visit today from West Lothian Bike Library. They help people get active and connected through cycling. We had booked in a cycle maintenance workshop as we have quite a few school bikes which are in need of repair.
Rocket Rounding
Freeze frame literacy
After reading our third chapter of the watchers, we decided to create action shots of this dramatic part of the book. Rather than drawing them or writing them down, we created three main pictures in our head ready perform to our group.
