Logo Turtle

As part of our robot topic we are learning to program a turtle using Logo.

Here is a website we can use.

CASMA

We are taking part in CASMA this year and are finding the Benjamin Britten songs particularly difficult to learn. Here is a link to a website where you can download the lyrics, music and backing tracks. You will need to register, which is free, to get access to all these resources (scroll down the page for the link). Alternatively you can listen to performances by scrolling down and clicking on 'listen to Britten's Friday afternoons' - you do not need to register for this.

We need to learn:
Begone, dull care!
A tragic story
Cuckoo!
Ee-oh
Jazz-man
There was a monkey
Old Abram Brown

Robots in the home

We are learning about robots and finding out about the jobs they can do in the home.

Here is a website that sells these sorts of robots.

Sequences

We have been learning about sequences in maths. As part of this we have carried out an investigation.

Here is a program some of us used.

Homework - 3D shapes

Homework this week is about 3D shapes.

Here's some ideas (remember you don't need to all of them or even any of them!):

• Name 3D shapes
• How do they get their name? Are there any rules?
• Are there 'families' of 3D shapes?
• What 3D shapes are everyday objects made from?
• Sort 3D shapes (perhaps using everyday items) in different ways. Perhaps using Venn or Carroll diagrams
• Find out about Plantonic solids
