Penguins Class Sidlesham Primary

Turns out the impossible triangle (optical illusion) isn’t actually impossible to draw… but it was challenging! #SidleshamMaths

In science, we’ve been learning about electricity. This week, we learnt all about switches. We went round the school and kept a tally of all the different types of switches that are used. The most popular is a paddle switch! #SidleshamScience

Drawing live with @LizPichon this morning! So much fun! #TomGates #ReadingForPleasure #SidleshamEnglish

We’re learning family members in Italian this half term #SidleshamItalian

This week in maths we’ve been learning about the Fibonacci sequence, palindrome numbers, Kaprekar’s constant, and today we learnt about parabolic curves - a curve that can be drawn with straight lines! #SidleshamMaths

Our electric vehicles are coming along well in DT! #SidleshamDT

Is it still called Forest Fridays if it’s on a Thursday? I think we do Forest Fursdays in Penguins! @ForestFridays

All the practising is paying off for this Year 5 boy who has been working on his version of the Greek folk tune, “Misirlou”, and he’s absolutely nailed it. #SidleshamMusic

The task was to “create a picture of the most important thing in the world…upside down.” And these are just a few of the lovely entries from Penguins Class. #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek #TaskmasterWeek

Some interesting and very committed approaches to the #UpsideDownTask in Penguins Class this afternoon for #TaskmasterWeek. #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek

Science investigations! How does the temperature of water affect sugar dissolving? What about the different types of sugar? And how much sugar can you add before it can’t dissolve any more?! #SidleshamScience

Some of our class have been sharing their writing on Sidlesham Radio. Listen out for it later on, on @SidleshamRadio. #SidleshamEnglish
