Lightbot App

Hello everyone,

We are playing with the Lightbot App today.  We are learning about algorithms and how we input instructions into a computer in the right order.  Here are some pictures- some levels were tricky but we persevered and shared our knowledge when a friend was stuck! 

Looking for right angles!

Year 3 took their iPads outside on Tuesday and went on a right angles hunt! We know that right angles have 90 degrees and can be in any orientation. Once we had found as many right angles as possible we started searching for angles that were greater than/less than right angles. The birdhouse was our most interesting find as it had a mix of lots of different types of angles. This week we have also been dancing with angles in a ‘moving mathematics’ lesson, finding out how many quarter turns make up circles and understanding compass directions in terms of angles and quarter turns.
