Happy Chinese New Year!


Well done for all your fabulous work today - we will finish everything tomorrow and then I will add some photos to the blog. To those of you who are ill, you can do the activities one lunchtime when you are back at school (only if you want to).

I was very impressed with your attitudes when you were helping your 1st grade buddies. Make sure you thank Miss Mo when you next see her for lending us her lovely decorations. Also, remember that you can ask Miss Mo and Miss Gill about life in Hong Kong.

Week 5: Finding the area and perimeter of rectangles


Next week we will revise how to find the area and perimeter of rectangles.
We will also discover how to find the perimeter of regular polygons and revise area and perimeter mental maths questions.

For example:
The area of a square measures 100 cm squared. What is the length of each side of the square?
