Today, group 3 compared classroom items to weights so that they could estimate the mass of an object. The children used balance scales and weighing scaledsto compare their estimations to the actual mass of the object. The children were then asked to calculate the difference between their estimation and the actual mass, in order to work out how accurate their estimations were.

Today in group 3, we continued our learning of 3D shapes by making them out of items in the classroom and using paper shape nets. The children did a great job, discussing the shape’s properties as they made them. One student even taught the class to draw the perfect cube.
Today in Maths, Group 4 were learning about right angled triangles and equilateral triangles. We learnt that a right angled triangle is a triangle with one right angle and an equilateral triangle has equal sides and equal angles. We then tried a challenge to see how many equilateral triangles we can fit inside a large equilateral triangle. We did a great job!

Where can we find hope?
For the next four weeks we will be learning about hope and what that looks like to us personally and to others within different religions. If someone is feeling down or upset, how can they become hopeful? Where might they find hope? Talk to your family members about where they find hope when things seem tough? How can we stay hopeful for the future when things seem impossible? Write down a few words or create a poster about how we can find hope.
Thank you for your cooperation,

Today, year 3 looked to describe, create and draw 2d shapes. We played describe and guess the 2d shapes, making sure were describing the shapes using our key vocabulary learnt over the unit:
The children displayed their vast knowledge of shapes and angles through out the lesson, making Miss Clarke having to think really hard of the shapes the children were describing. To help us draw, we used the Geo boards to create our shapes.
Group 4 were used their previous learning to classify and group 2D shapes. We used the words regular, irregular, vertices, sides, angles, obtuse, acute, right angles to identify different 2D shapes based on their properties. The pupils asked questions such as “does your shape have a right angle?” “is your shape regular or irregular?” “Does your shape have more than one obtuse angle?” to help them identify the shape.

In preparation for their SATs next week, year 6 have been demonstrating their knowledge of arithmetic and calculation. The children have worked extremely hard over the last ten months. They have learned and retained so much and should be so proud of themselves!
