Junior 6
Junior 6 have been working incredibly hard this week to ensure a full understanding of all aspects of transforming shapes, in their continuing revision and preparations for examinations. They have been learning how to translate shapes in different directions, reflect shapes across mirror lines and through horizontal and vertical axes and rotate shapes round a point or vertex. They have also looked at how to relay the position of a shape by using coordinates and have used a four-quadrant grid to do this.
Some of the children participated in the Primary Maths Challenge, while others had fun thinking about the properties of 2D and 3D shapes – we thought of humorous ways to remember the different triangles and even learned the name of an 11-sided shape!
