Year 6 - Kandinsky Inspired Maths

 As part of our home learning this week, in Maths Year 6 have been looking at angles.

We have looked at:

 acute angles

right angles

obtuse angles

straight line angles

reflex angles

full turn angles

We then used our knowledge of angles to identify them within artwork created by Kandinsky.

Here is what we found:

We then created our own Kandinsky-style artwork using various shapes, angles and colours.

Here is some of our work:

Whilst at home, Year 6 are still working incredibly hard.

This week we have been working on area and perimeter and I set the children the task of designing their own creations and then calculating the areas and perimeters of its body parts.

Great work 6MB - I am SO proud of you all!

Take a look at what they came up with!

Today in 5NL we have been making 3D models using cubes and then drawing the perspective from a 'birds eye' view.

1MS - Heavy and light using balances

Last lesson we recapped over the words heavy and light.

Next, we went on an outdoor maths trail...

We ordered ourselves form tallest to shortest

We wrote some sums on the playground floor for our friends to answer...

We drew a 100 square with missing numbers for our friends to complete

We found 2D shapes in the playground and made some of our own...

Challenge 1 - Who can make the tallest structure?

Challenge 2 - How many children we could fit on a school bench -

14!
