Right Angle Hunt
Today we learnt what a right angle was! We used our right angle finders to find right angles around our classroom.
Fake Webpages!
During our computing lesson, we looked at a 'Tree Octopus' website and realised that the information given was untrue! We discussed how we cannot believe everything that we read online. We then created our own fake webpages using the laptops.
