The penultimate week
This week we completed our final Art project – creating maps to represent us. There was lots of creativity and they were all unique. In Maths, we have been looking at scaling and how we can enlarge shapes accurately, as well as solving word problems with scaling amounts. Bar models come in handy to visualise …
