Designing a Diwali Rangoli

-

 Joshua used his ideas of geometric shape, rotational symmetry and transformation to create a Rangoli for his family.  He planned it out first using a dot template, similar to the video we viewed in Maths. He then carefully enlarged it using coloured chalk. Great work Joshua - totally using your maths knowledge in a real life context.

Doesn't it look great?

      Hi Ibrahim, I would just like to clarify that adding colour to their sketched plans was optional. The criteria Joshua was working to was how to design a plan and then recreate an enlarged design using colour, symmetry and rotation. He has definitely met my brief don't you think?

Experiments with Force and Motion

-

As part of our exploration into Force and Motion, we have been making Marble Runs, Marble Mazes and Domino Chains. Cyrus created an effective chain of DVD cases and books, beginning his chain by rolling a ball towards it and also getting it to run around a corner. With the challenge on to experiment with a large run of dominoes, Joshua built a superbly complex design. He used a range of layered dominoes, a car race track and a small car to launch his chain. If you would like more information or to see what others have created and learnt, please scroll down to the padlets below and view our class work which is getting updated and added to most days.

Our Summer Challenge poem - Writers Circle

-

 We've been given a challenge to write a summer poem, that uses only 3 of our senses, based on a picture of a boy mowing a lawn.  Stage 1 was to draw and then brainstorm some ideas for the sounds and smells we would have on a summer's day while lawns are being mown in the neighbourhood. Today's stage was to read the mentor's piece of writing, and look at the set out and language used. Using highlighters we located nouns, verbs and adjectives; talking about how they were used and what they do in a piece of writing. Our next stage is to write our own, and share with each other so that we can make it come alive for our readers.
