We drew our names using straight and curved lines on squared paper. We then used our protractors to measure the angles created where two straight lines met. Look out for the acute, right and obtuse angles in our names!

Halloween is in full swing and we have been busy getting ready here in
Room 7! 

We made some paper plate ghosts using a mixture of card, paper plates and plastic. We also made our own recipes for Halloween Potions (we're sure nobody would be willing to try them though!!) We created Halloween bat silhouettes using a technique called 'pointillism' and we even found time to make our spoooooky Haunted Gingerbread House (which managed to stay standing...wohoo!)

​Have a look at some of the things we have been getting upto!

Happy Halloween!

RSA Workshop (Ms. Fox 5th Class)

26/10/2016

0 Comments

 
We had a visit from the RSA last week. We learned all about being safe on the roads while walking, cycling or travelling in the car. We realised that some of us aren't quite heavy or tall enough for the front seat just yet and some shocking statistics that really increased our awareness of the importance of being safe on the roads.

We were lucky enough to take part in the role play area and we had a fantastic time pretending we were small again! Look at our funny pictures!

Maths in Ms. Lane's 2nd Class

21/10/2016

0 Comments

 
This week in Maths we have been working on patterns. We used dice to show us patterns of adding odd and even numbers. We discovered that when you add two even numbers you always get an even answer, when you add two odd numbers you always get an even answer and when you add an odd and even number you always get an odd answer. We used peg-boards, counters and bottle tops to make our own patterns and we did book work. We really enjoyed doing all the work!
