Mother's Day

For Mother's Day, we in Room 8 made agamographs as gifts for our beautiful mothers.

An agamograph is a picture that changes when you look at it from different angles. It is a form of math art and allowed us to practice our fractions through paper folding, while having fun and being creative.

Here are a few samples of our agamographs!

Here are some pictures of us hard at work!

Today we had our Green Halloween fashion show. We were able to strut our stuff on the catwalk and show the rest of the school the costumes that we worked so hard on. The results were amazing!  Well done to all the children who came up with such fantastically creative ideas and made such wonderful looking costumes. A big thank-you also to everyone who helped at home. Here are a few pictures to enjoy. Have a fun and safe Halloween!

We played with these and made many different shapes using them, even some really tricky ones! We made our own tangrams by cutting out the right shapes on pieces of paper, and stuck down our favourite pictures. We learned about Wassily Kandinsky, an artist who used lots of lines and 2D shapes. We used what we learned in maths to help us create our very own "Kandinsky's".
