Christmas Wreaths

Room 5 have been working hard making these eye-catching Christmas wreaths.  They have been measuring, cutting and glueing lots of loops of paper to create them.

They have taken a long time but it's worth it because they look AMAZING!

Moon rocks

Today Room 5 made moon rocks.  They worked in groups to measure and mix to make some moon rock dough then they moulded it into interesting shapes.  They had to think about what a rock from the moon might look like.  Here are some photos of the process and our finished rocks.

Learning to Code

This morning, Room 5 students are learning how to code at code.org.  So far they have learned how to move an angry bird through a maze to kill the pig and now some of them are learning to create shapes using angles.  If you want to have a try at learning to code, go to code.org, sign in with your google account and click on the courses (we are doing course 2).

Idioms

Today we have been learning about idioms. We have found out what they are and what different idioms mean. Check out our idiom illustrations and leave us some feedback in the comment section.

How to make an area and perimeter animal

Some blog visitors have asked how they can make their own perimeter and area animals so Thomas and Shannon created this slideshow to show you how.

Photos of our Area and Perimeter Animals

Here are our finished area and perimeter animals.  Some of us were super clever and we designed animals that could stand or sit up.  Please leave us a comment, we are really proud of our work!

Area and Perimeter Animals

In maths, we have been designing animals and working out their perimeter and area. We have designed our animals on maths paper then we are going to cut them out and try to make them stand up. You can visit our blogs to see more of our designs and what we have learned about perimeter and area. Here are a few photos showing some of our designs.  Can you work out what animal they are?
