We took part in an activity caleed 'Gaming Guide', where we created an character for an online game with 5 key safety messages for people playing the gane. We also created a poster to persuade people to use the internet safely. Our class focused on the letter 'm' from the SMART tarhets which is ensuring people understand the rules around 'meeting' others online or in person, that you have met online.  

ICT and Numeracy - Scratch 

Today we visited the ICT suite to complete a task on coding. To do this, we used the app called ‘Scratch’. We linked this in with our maths lesson as we were learning about tessellation. We have also been learning about angles. We had to enter in certain codes which would enable us to make a square and then to tessellate it four times. The codes and commands we entered were things such as turn 90 degrees clockwise and move forward 100 steps. The boys and girls got this hang of this very quickly and did a fantastic job! Feel free to do this at home as well as this can be accessed through the My School page.

Friday - Measuring in the Sensory Garden

To complete our activities for Maths Week, we went to the sensory garden after our daily mile to measure some shapes that we made. We used different sizes of twigs and were given different shapes to make, using specific measurements. We used 30cm rulers to check our measurements were correct and we learnt how to use our rulers to measure twigs that were more than 30 cm.

Making Shortbread

We had a very busy day taking part in lots of maths activities to end the week. As we have been looking at measure as part of our maths target, we decided to make shortbread. This takes in lots of aspects of measure as well as many other areas of maths. We looked at different types of scales and noticed that our instructions were in grams and oz. We had to figure out how to convert these and the best type of scale to use to help us measure out our ingredients. We each then designed a maths symbol into our piece of shortbread! They tasted delicious!
