Olympic Logos

Today at Maths Mania! we learned about how logos can be made using 2D shapes.

We looked at the London 2012 logo and noticed that there were lots of 2D shapes hiding in it. Can you see any rhombuses, trapeziums, rectangles or triangles in this logo?

Look - here they are!

Once we knew how logos are made, we made some Olympic logos of our own. In our logos we made people participating in sporting events.

Mariam's swimmer

Mosaddeq's runner

Sani-e-Zahra's footballer

Azka and Jawad's sports people



Anindita's skipper

Maths Mania!

Today was Maths Mania! day at our school.

We all had a lot of fun and learned about different ways maths is used at The Olympics.

We started with Miss Reynolds and found 2D shapes hiding in the London 2012 logo before making our own sport logo.

Then we went to Mrs Brown's room where we found out how many times we could do somethings in a minute. We did lots of exercises like star jumps and stand-up-sit-down.

After recess we made paper plate discuses with Mrs Newton and competed to see who would win a gold medal for throwing it the greatest distance.

When we went to Mrs Hoperdietzel's activity we learned about symmetry had to find which country's flags are symmetrical and which ones are non-symmetrical.

Most of us had the most fun doing Mrs Brown's minute measurement activity.

2D Shape Hunt

1RS went out into the playground hunting for 2D shapes. This is what we found...

A crinkly leaf that looked like a rhombus.

There are trapeziums in the shade cloth.

The drain in the COLA is made up of rhombuses.

The bridge between the buildings has lots of triangles.

Kindergarten had used triangles in their Harmony Day poster.

This garden near our classroom is a trapezium.

There are lots of squares and triangles on the buildings.

And, after looking and looking and worrying that we would never find one, we finally found a hexagon on the office door!
