Congratulations to Wyatt who won the homework draw for this term. He chose to take Ruby with him and enjoyed their frozen cokes!

CPR
Today we had our last session with Denise from St Johns. We learnt how to bandage wounds and how to do CPR. Miss Hines isn't sure she would like some of us to do CPR on her...
Here are some photo's of us in action.

Earth Picker
Yesterday Miss Panther came into Totara 1 and showed us a VERY addictive game called Earth Picker. It is safe to say that we have become obsessed but have learnt a lot about geography already!
Click on the link below and see how good you are, some of us have got bang on the spot!

Angles
This week for maths WALT identify angles and measure them using a protractor.
We already knew that a circle is 360 degrees and a straight line is 180 degrees.
We have learnt that a right angle is 90 degrees and is always 90 degrees no matter what.
An acute angle is less than 90 degrees. We discovered that if we think of something little it is 'cute' so this helps us remember that an acute angle is a small angle.
An obtuse angle is more than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees. To remember this we thought that this is quite a big angle and if you are big you can be obese (which begins with the same letters).
A reflex angle is an angle that is bigger than 180 degrees but smaller than 360 degrees.
We have had a lot of fun learning to use the protractors (although some of us have realised that we have to be pretty accurate in order to get the answer right!
Keep an eye on our individual blogs for our DLO's on angles.

Enlargements
This week we have been doing enlargements for Maths. Enlargements come under the Geometry and Measurement strand and they require the children to measure and draw their grid on their small character and then estimated the new size of their larger grid. They then used division to check that their estimations were correct for their larger grid. I was really impressed with the first attempts T1 made and we are going to continue to use the new skills we have learnt this week to create 
some more!
