Sports sessions

The girls began weekly sports sessions, this week was basket ball. Each session is followed by a healthy eating session and then a swim.

tangram puzzler

Using identical tangram pieces, we split into two teams and put up a barrier so we couldn't see each others pieces. We then took it in turns to add a piece and describe it's position. It was a great opportunity for using mathematical terms and names, and describing accurately position.
The patterns turned out pretty much identical.

The twingram puzzle

Using 'dark' and 'light' tangram pieces we created more pictures.

Chinese Tangrams

We looked at the history of tangrams, in fact they may not have originated from China! Following the rules of tangrams we made pictures.

Chinese New Year Poems

 

To assess knowledge and understanding of Chinese new year, I got the girls to write acrostic poems. We brain stormed vocab. associated with China/ Chinese new year and then wrote the poems.Imogen then wanted to write her own poem. Later the girls spotted an acrostic poem where the vertical word was in the middle of the poem, so maybe we'll try that next.
