Clothing Designers

 Room 2 have had a go at designing clothing for warm climates out of newspaper. It has been an activity at Reading time which has led to some very big tidy-up times. Here are a few items from the collection. We have looked at traditional clothing and discussed how the weather impacts on traditional clothing.

We had some questions about why some countries are hot and some are not. Fergus has brought along his globe to explain how it works. Thanks Fergus.

Printed People

We wrote poems about ourselves and used our prints to illustrate them.

Here they are...

 

2D and 3D Shapes

We have been exploring 2D and 3D shapes this term. We have learnt about the differences between 2D and 3D shapes and have learnt about the language of these shapes.

Ask us how many sides and corners a 2D shape has and to count the faces on a 3D shape.

We have been loving making 3D shapes, some people have shown a great deal of persistence and creativity to build 3D shapes with as many faces as possible. Clever kids!

Room 2 Measuring Fun

We have been doing lots of measuring in Room 2. We use centimetres on our rulers to measure lengths and widths.

Tiddywinks practise.

 

After our practise we had a class competition. We used chalk to write on the carpet and measured our jumps. We can teach this game to our families for 'Home Learning' soon. Tyne and William P got the biggest jumps. Some of our jumps backfired and we got negative centimetre measurements. It was fun to talk about negative numbers. Andrew is our negative number expert. Great work Room 2.
