Year 5/6 Mainstream Celebrating Learning

In Maths, to start Term 4, we’ve been exploring location and transformation. We’ve resized shapes by enlarging them. We transformed shapes using rotation, reflection and translation. We created tessellating patterns. We’ve also explored features of maps and using different types of coordinate systems.

Arty says: I enjoyed making the map because it’s creative and we can use these skills in the real world. I find it fun!

Perry says: I enjoyed learning all the different coordinates and how to use them if I’m ever lost.

Bert says: I found the tessellations pretty interesting, how there’s so many different ways shapes can fit together.

Angelina says: I enjoyed making our own island map. I liked how it was it creative. I also enjoyed resizing my shape in pixels on the computer, it was a challenge!

Maddy says: I liked that I got to make up my own people on the island. I liked using pixel art to do the transformations.

Rohan says: I liked the pixel art because you could get it exactly perfect in the google sheets. I also liked cutting out my own shape to do transformations.
