Apps for Good - A Team!

We finally began working as our teams now in our session today - we wrote in our first 'team diary' - reflecting on how we have got on with the course so far and what we need to do next! 

Apps for Good Update

We spent a very successful time today looking at our groups and agreeing our goals! 

We had to make lots of decisions such as 'Would we be prepared to work out of school hours?'.

Awesome Angles

BThis week, Year 6 will be investigating the properties of shapes and looking at angles. We will need these skills both in our SATs tests and for secondary school!

Check back here for updates on what we are doing in class..........

In the meantime, have a go at these games:

http://www.fruitpicker.co.uk/activity/ - a fun fruity game, where you have to add angles on to find your way to the fruits!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/keyskills/flash/kfa/kfa.shtml - cool Kung Fu inspired game where you have to direct your martial artist to his opponent my giving him instructions in angles!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/ks2/maths/shape_space/angles/play/popup.shtml - a really exciting mission to take part in!

http://www.mathplayground.com/alienangles.html - help your intergalactic friend to find his way!

As fun as these games are, they do still count as "extra homework" - be sure to mention that you have been playing them to Miss Davies, or better yet, leave a comment letting us know how well you have done below! (all comments come straight to Miss Davies' iPad!) 

Why not let your family have a go? See if they are as brilliant as Year 6 are with angles!

(all games have been checked and are safe and sensible for you to play!)

Enjoying using a protractor to measure angles within a building plan!

Being extremely precise! Well Done!

Apps 4 Good

Here at De Beauvoir we are beginning our Apps 4 Good journey...

We began by looking at ideas and listening to some of the experts talk on the website!

We organised our ideas into three categories - 'Crazy!' - 'Combined' - and 'Smash and Grab' - ask us about our wonderful ideas....

Take a look at some of our brilliant ideas!! 

We're really looking forward to getting started and trying out some of the tools to create! 

Do you have any great ideas? Want to ask a question? Please leave a comment here!!
