MorphologyThis week, students have been learning about the prefix -over and -trans and its meaning. Students have been analysing words with this prefix and identifying the base of the word to find its meaning. They have also been spelling, reading, and using these words in sentences throughout the week.

In Maths, students have continued their learning about angles. They have been identifying the different types of angles including, acute, right, obtuse, straight and reflex and began to use protractors to measure angles correctly and even create their own angles. Moreover, students have challenged themselves to identify the missing angles within shapes, particularly triangles.
