More Geometry!

We have continued to learn more about geometry.  We have learnt about symmetry and 3D shapes this week.  We did different rotations to give us a lot of exposure to these different topics. Check out some of our activities below.

More Polygons!

Check out what we've been up to with polygons this week.

What if Wednesdays

We have been having "What if Wednesday" in class.  Each Wednesday there is a what if question on the board first thing in the morning.  The students can respond to it any way they would like.  Take a look at some of the creative responses from this week's question: What if your toys came alive while you were asleep?

I’m sleeping softly through the night and then I get a fright. 

My toys are crawling high and low.  I can’t believe the sight. 

The night has awakened them and now I’ve given them a fright!

I quickly close my eyes and drift back to sleep.

Luckily in the morning they are all next to me.

I was sleeping one night when I felt a bump on my head.  I woke up and nothing was there.  Suddenly I saw teddy fly down from the roof and I fell back asleep.  Then I heard a sound like my drawers opening and closing and then a sound like my bop it.  I got up half awake but still nothing was there.  Then my toy kangaroo hit my head.  “Ouch” I said.  I knew something was up, I just didn’t know what.  When I woke up they were all stacked up at the end of my bed.  The next night I put a cage over them, but when I feel asleep I heard the cage bang over my head.

As I fell asleep I heard a creak, eek, and tip toes.  “Woosh” what was that?  I woke up.  I looked under the bed.  “Ahhh” I turned into a barbie toy.  I feel a little light headed.  “Hospi help me.” Hospi can’t be alive so I looked around the room.  He was having a tea party.  “Okay Sofia I will help you.  Wake up!”  It was just a dream.  Or was it?

“Meow” what was that I thought.  I woke up and I saw nothing.  Suddenly Scimble Shanks my toy cat jumped down off my dresser and landed on my head.  “Ahhh” I screamed.  “Murtle help me!”  I shouted at my stuffed turtle.  I looked down off my bed.  There he was swimming in a storage lid.  I lifted him off the storage lid.  He wriggled back out of my hands and jumped onto the storage lid.  Suddenly, my parachute man jumped off the roof and he screamed “Wahoo!”  I grabbed him but he scrunched his parachute up again and started back up towards the roof.  I saw my littlest pet shops drive by in my shoes and they landed on my face.  Suddenly, I felt the urge to go to sleep. When I woke up they were either in my toy box or on the end of my bed.

Here's a response from last week's question: What if everything you touched turned to chocolate?

The sun streamed in through my window.  “Ahhh” I moaned as the sunlight flowed on to my face.  I rolled over but instead of landing softly on my pillow I landed on something flat hard.  No wonder I wasn’t comfy last night I thought.  I heaved myself out of my bed and looked at my bed.  It wasn’t, it can’t be, it was a block of chocolate.  I was also standing on chocolate.  I touched my dressing table.  “Zap” it turned into that big black block again.  “Ahh” I screeched.  My scream echoed through my bedroom.  I had no idea what to do, nowhere to run, nowhere to hide…

Flash Mob

Here's a little snippet of the flash mob we performed at the assembly on Friday. We had so much fun!  

Polygons All Around Us!

Room 7 found examples of polygons (and non polygons) all over the place to share at assembly.  Unfortunately, the computer was not working this afternoon so we were only able to show a few.  We are going to share them at our syndicate assembly next week, but we thought we would put them on here too for all of you to see!
