Funky Fashion Begins!

This term our inquiry topic is Funky Fashion. Our end goal is to design two costumes for our production and to enter Eco-Fest in August.
Today we started by working in our groups together to design an outfit out of 5 sheets of news paper and 2 metres of tape. Check out our handiwork!

Shaping up in Maths

In Room 10 this week we've been learning about about Geometry. Did you know that if you add the faces of a 3D shape and the vertices together then take 2 away this gives you the number of edges!!!! Wow!!!!!
The mathematical equation for this looks like E = F + V - 2. Well done to the Hexagon's group who found this out from their investigation making 3D shapes. The Triangle's group today learnt how to draw cubes on isometric paper. Circles and Squares have been looking at the features of 3D shapes. Check back next week to see some more of our geometry work.
