This week, P7A have been filling out online worry surveys to do with Internet Safety, as part of ICT Week, and completing grouped, mathematical problem-solving games, as part of Maths Week. The children were very open and intrigued by the important topic of E-Safety. They worked very well together to complete the practical IZAK-9 cube tasks. They developed communication, critical thinking, reasoning and mental calculation skills during these fun sessions. Well done, everyone!
As part of our Numeracy study of 2-D shapes last week, the P7A pupils were able to link this learning with the infamous abstract art of Russian artist, Wassily Kandinsky. They managed to study many of Kandinsky’s mathematical masterpieces, such as the ‘Red Spot’, for instance. This creative inspiration allowed them to design their own colourful versions of Kandinsky’s circles for their personal scrapbooks. We also studied the unparalleled works of Vincent Van Gogh in art class, resulting in many beautiful imitations of 'Starry Night' and the 'Sunflower.'
Today pupils from P 5 and P7 were writing computer code in J2e computer app JIT.
We wrote code to produce a small square, a large square and various rectangles,on the iPads.
