We have been looking at how information is organised in a newspaper. The class were given this challenge.

Use a current newspaper to find and cut out articles on the following - an accident report, a local news item, an international news item, a letter to the editor, a book/film/theatre report, a birth/death notice, a science/environmental item, a classified ad and a weather forecast.

Using a large sheet of card/paper print the newspaper’s name and date in bold heading at the top.

Glue and label your articles onto it. Use sub-headings for the different sections.

Primary 6 were asked to show their understanding of the relationship between 3D objects and their nets. Here is the challenge they were given.

Create a mobile for an infant’s cot/crib. The mobile should be made up entirely of 3D objects, which you have made using nets. The mobile should include at least 3 different 3D objects. You can make as many 3D objects to hang from the mobile as you feel appropriate. The mobile should take on a theme of your choosing and be stimulating and bright to look at.

We were given a challange to create a poster giving descriptions on diffrent shapes (Trapezium, rhombus, square, circle, pentagon, kite, equalateral triangle, isoscles triangle, hexagon, octogan, rectangle.) and some people did a few others (like chevron, eclipse and parallelogram). We were in pairs and used stencils ect. to draw the shapes. Here are some examples: Square: A square is like a rectangle but with all equal sides (making it an equilateral) and all angles are right angles. Circle: A circle is a closed curve/line.
Then we presented our posters to the rest of a class.
