Chinese New Year

On Monday we completed Chinese themed activities . In English we watched the story of the 12 animals and how the years got their names- we then wrote our own newspaper reports-Rat Cheats To Win Race !Some super writing resulted.
In maths we used tangrams-we made our own tangrams and completed pictures using them. We could make it easy by seeing the outlines of the 7 shapes or make it harder by just seeing the outlines of the finished pictures. We also created our own shapes and tried an interactive tangram on the smart board-not easy! We enjoyed the lesson- visualising is not easy!
