Tangrams

Today’s challenge is all about tangrams! The tangram is a dissection puzzle consisting of seven flat shapes, called tans, which are put together to form shapes. The objective of the puzzle is to form a specific shape using all seven pieces, which cannot overlap.

Below, I have attached a document with a blank tangram for you to cut out. This document also includes lots of animal outlines for you to try and create using the tans. The solutions are also included so you can check (or sneak a look if you are unsure!). As always, please send any photos in to website@cannonpark.coventry.sch.uk

Home Learning

We have been so impressed with the variety and quality of your home learning over the past few weeks. Here are just a few wonderful examples:

World Ocean Day

70% OF OUR PLANET IS WATER, AS IS 70% OF THE HUMAN BODY.

WE LIVE ON A BLUE PLANET, PLANET OCEAN.

World Ocean Day for Schools is a free digital platform that curates the most engaging and thought provoking ocean related learning resources for educators. This platform is designed to act as a catalyst to a richer connection with the ocean in a way that complements existing school curriculum. These explorations into all of our water systems culminate with a global celebration in June in conjunction with World Ocean Day every year.

For more information and access to free resources, which are organised by age and time, click on the image below:

Logic Puzzles

Good morning, everyone! For today’s activity, I’ve been inspired by our Year 6 children. A few weeks ago, they were solving logic puzzles so I thought I’d share one with you all today.

 A hunter has a lion, goat and carrot and he wants to cross the river taking all three along. There is a boat that can fit him plus either the lion, the goat, or the carrot. He is confused because if the lion and the goat are alone on one shore, the lion will eat the goat. If the goat and the carrot are alone on the shore, the goat will eat the carrot. Help the hunter by finding a way to bring all the three things to the other side of the river.

Clue – the hunter will have to make lots of trips back and forth across the river. You might find it easier to draw a diagram.

If you think you can solve it, or you have a puzzle of your own, please email website@cannonpark.coventry.sch.uk

Good luck!

 

Animation

Good morning, everyone! I’ve spent quite a bit of time creating animations using Scratch with Year 3 this year. You can also create an animation without a computer by using only paper and a pencil. If you have post-it notes, they will work even better, but you can use paper as well. Watch the video below to learn how to create your very own paper animation:

Tennis

Online Safety

With children spending more time online at the moment, it is more important than ever to ensure they are safe online. The link below takes you to a website called ‘Thinkuknow’, where there are lots of age specific 15 minute lessons to do with your child. The aim is for parents/carers to do them with the child, talking them through together. For more information, please click on the image below:
