World Maths Day!!! 03/03/10

Room 13 have been celebrating World Maths. http://www.worldmathsday.com/2010/

During maths time we looked at weight using grams and kg. We used the Pods to look at http://www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk and went on to their great interactive weight links!

Later that morning Room 13 used to the Pods to play a range of maths games that make learning basic facts fun and enjoyable.

Some of the websites used were: mathletics, tutpup, funbrain, coolmaths4kids, ictgames etc!

CRAZY FACES -BY ROOM 13 the photos

To start off the year and try to brighten up the room we have painted some distorted faces.
We started off by doing some quick sketches of our partners. It was funny because they were very quick. We also had to draw faces upside down, with our wrong hand and without looking.
We then looked at some art by Picasso and discussed the portrait of the 'Weeping Woman'
From there we sketched out a distorted face that we were happy with.
One of the main objectives of the lesson was to learn how to hold a paintbrush and apply paint.
Here is a slide show of what we completed. Leave us a comment to tell us what you think.
