Angles;shapes and Power Point?

By Victoria Tann (PY4)

You may ask what angles and Microsoft Power point have to do with each other. But PY 4/5 have connected the two together to make a PowerPoint presentation on angles and shapes. They have partnered up with a classmate and created a PowerPoint presentation each. They have shown these creations to Sanjay and the rest of the class on the 26th, 27th and 28th of March.

The deadline was supposed to be on the 26th of March but only one pair managed to finish by that time so Sanjay has had to extend the deadline to the 27th and the 28th. By the end of this week they will have finished this maths unit on angles and shapes and are frantically finishing off last minute reflections. The things they had to include were: The use of a protractor, Different triangles and calculations.
We will gather up more info on what PY 4/5 are getting up to in maths in the next issue

Guided tour on the move

By Dan Whiting (PY 5)

PY 4/5 are taking on the challenge of creating guided tours of Neustadt in English. It was Sanjay’s idea, but the class thought it was brilliant. Sanjay and Wolfgang have made an agreement with the town council on making the tours and they said that it was a very good idea. In the future they will be showing people around Neustadt and its landmarks. They will now be working for the tourist information bureau. It will be a challenge that will be continuous and will last for over a year.
