21st of September

This week we have been learning about shapes. We have been learning their names - such as:  octagon, 
trapezium, rhombus and hexagon.We have also been learning about their properties-  e.g. How many sides does it have? How many diagonals does it have? How many vertices (corners) does it have? We have enjoyed making an Egyptian pyramid, in 3D. We played a game called 'Fling the Teacher' which was very popular!!  Here is the link:

We were playing on Spelling City trying to learn our words. If we all get 100% Mrs Reid 

will dance on the table! 

P5 went to the Tag rugby festival in Kirkwall today. It was a bit wet but fun!
