P5 does Numeracy Day

Today the whole school took part in an outdoor Numeracy Day! Our classes had the challenge of creating a 2D picture with construction straws. The pictures had to contain as many 2D shapes as possible. Extra points were awarded for a variety of shapes in our designs and a really good picture. We then chalked on the types of angle we had made and some pairs of parallel sides. We also found the perimeters of a variety of shapes around the exterior of the school building. Later in the day we added our ideas to a huge Numeracy art piece in the Hall. Each class had their own Numeracy equipment to add to the design. P5 used weights and calculators. We had a great day!
