Mrs England's Geometry Group

We have been learning all about 3D shapes in Geometry.

We now know we describe 3D shapes using faces, corners, edges and sides.

Today we traced around all of the faces of our 3D shape.

Here are some photos from our lesson. 

Stepping Out!

Here is Mrs England's Guardian Group with the Stepping out programme:

We were VERY lucky to get to ride in a police car today and to dress up in real police gear today.

We have loved our week learning about being safe walking on the footpath and when crossing roads.

It has been lots of fun working with and learning from Constable Gordon throughout the week!

Hub 1's proud learners

Congratulations to our learners who received certificates for their learning at our school assembly in week 3, Term 1.

Measurement: Learning about Capacity!

Mrs England's Measurement learners...

Today we focused on learning about capacity and volume.

We now have an understanding that capacity is the amount of space within a object and how much it can hold. 

We were able to order a range of containers, all different sizes, to see what ones had the smallest capacity, to the largest containers having a larger capacity. It was a very fun activity. 

The children gained a better understanding of how to find out how to find out a containers capacity and to see if it is larger or smaller than others. 

The children also used explored what millilitres (ml) and litres (L) are and how we use them to measure the weight of containers and their capacity.

We felt what a litre was, using a 1 litre milk bottle and then used this knowledge to compare other objects weight. 

We used a continuum and made decisions about where other objects sat on our 'buckets' (continuum) and placed where we believed each object sat by its weight e.g. if it was more, about or less than a litre.

Motor Magic

Mrs England's Guardian Group had fun working on their coordination skills today.

The children had to cut out an unusual shape, that they drew, using scissors.

It was hard work cutting along the line and using smaller controlled cuts rather than fast long cuts.
