Shapes & Patterns

This term we have been playing and exploring with 3D shapes and patterns.


                            

Making patterns with shapes




 

Can you guess what comes next?



We had to try and build the same model as our partners by listening to their instructions, it was a bit tricky because we couldn't see what they had made.

I wonder if they will look the same when we take the whiteboard away?

We used cylinders, cubes, cones, cuboids and prisms to build models.

 

Look at our super fast racing car!

  

Can you tell what it is yet?

Children in Need 2011

Last Week we helped the pupil council to raise money for Children in Need.

Some of us dressed up in spotty clothes.

We used fabric pens, glue, buttons and gems to make Mrs Reid a spotty t-shirt to wear.

Some of us entered the cake baking competition.

Delicious!

Those look yummy!

In the afternoon we joined up with the other Primary Ones and painted spotty toast, which we then ate. Don't worry though we used a mixture of milk and food colouring to paint the bread - not the stuff that we normally use for painting pictures....

Let's go to the Police Station

We had a great time visiting the Police Station and seeing all the things that the police use to help them catch criminals.  

 We were shown around by two police officers

Don't our vests work well in the bare, dark cells?

Surely you haven't done something naughty

Don't tell me you've been naughty too 

Not you as well!  Oh dear!

Are we all going to be locked up?

What a noisy siren the police car has.

CC cameras are used to help catch people who are doing things that they shouldn't be doing.

Fire Station Visit

We had great fun at the fire station last Wednesday trying on the firefighters clothes, spraying with the hose and looking inside the fire truck.  When the truck's light began to flash and the siren went off a lot of us had to cover our ears as it was so loud.

Our School

 Today we investigated different parts of the school and some of the people who worked there.

We found where the television is kept so we can put it back after we have used it.

Mr Scott and Mr Mowat have a very big workshop full of tools to help them make and fix things that get broken.

The teachers go to the staffroom for their tea or coffee at break times.

We couldn't find Gary in the office.  Maureen was working all alone.  She has to answer all the phone calls to the school.

We found Gary in Mrs Killeen's room.  They looked very busy.

Mrs Muir works in the Resource room.  She was busy making a banner for our classroom wall.
