Time
Our the last couple of weeks we have been focusing on Time.
We have been discussing and learning to tell the time in both analogue and digital format. We have also learned about using the 24-hour clock as well as adding, subtracting and renaming time.
At times it has been a bit confusing! You can practise all the concepts by clicking on the following links and playing some time games.

Shape & Space
This week we are exploring shape and space in Maths.
We learned that a polygon is a 2D shape, made up of straight lines and the shape is closed. Examples of polygons are triangles, squares, rectangles, pentagons, hexagons, octagons and many more.
A rhombus is a square pushed out of shape.It looks like a diamond. All sides are equal in length, opposite sides are parallel and opposite angles are equal.
A parallelogram is a rectangle pushed out of shape. Opposite sides are parallel and of equal length and opposite angles are equal.
Did you know?
- A shape with 100 sides is called a Hectagon
- A shape with 1000 sides is called a Chiliagon
- A shape with 1,000,000 is called a Megagon
- And a shape with 10 to the power of 100 is called a Googolgon!!
We played an exciting game based on shapes. You can play it by clicking here.
