Geometry - Position

The position of an object can be described. 
We used the position word cards, teddy bears and blocks to show position. We could tell our partners about what we had done.

Discovery day - Geometry

We had a Discovery Day about geometry and there were lots of interesting things for us to do in the Hall. We made things symmetrical, made 3D shapes and Miss Hutchings did some face painting. The pictures on our faces were symmetrical. We love Discovery Day and trying lots of different things.

Geometry - reflection

In geometry we were learning about how the position and appearance of an object can be changed by reflecting (flipping) it. We used mirrors to see how our pattern would look when we flipped the shapes over the strip of cardboard. When we had completed our task we took a photo of the result. 

Discovery in the classroom

We had 'Discovery' in our classroom on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. One of the things we could do was get 30 pieces of lego, make something with them, give our creation and name and then take a photo of it with the digital camera. Here are some of our efforts.

Fire fighters Rowan Huxford and James Kendrick came to school today to tell us about Fire Safety. They told us it was important that we know our name and address. We have to make sure we have a working smoke alarm in our houses. They also told us that lighters and matches are not toys and only adults can use them. We have to have a safe meeting place at our house in the event of a fire. You have to 'Get down' Get low' and 'Get out' if there is a fire.

Jordon and Addison

Jordon has a new sister. Her name is Addison and she is 8 weeks old. She came to visit Room 4 this week. Thank you Jordon for bringing your sister to see your teacher and classmates.

Bears

All of Room 4 stitched around a bear. Then they stuffed them and drew a face on them. The children named their bears and some of them have come to school every day. They are very well behaved bears and don't disrupt the class.
