Translation, reflection and rotation...
We have been learning about translation (slide), reflection (flip) and rotation (turn).
We have found a really cool website that shows us what a reflection looks like and allows us to investigate how reflection works. We were experimenting with it today and thought it was a really good way to explore reflection. Can you see how both sides of the picture are the same?
Here is the website if you want to have a go at home:

Learning with different tools...
We have been learning to form our letters correctly using the Ipads. We think Letter-school is a fun way to help us practise forming our letters correctly.
We have also been using the mac airs to explore sunshine online. Sunshine online is a great website that we use to help up us with our reading and writing. We learn about word families, letter blends, letter sounds and loads more!
