Main Activity:
This week we are going to continue to be looking at SHAPE AND SYMMETRY.
In this lesson, you will recap on the names of different types of angles. We will be looking specifically at acute and obtuse angles today and exploring where they can be found. We will learn what makes an angle acute or obtuse and how they are different. We will learn to estimate and order angles and how to draw examples of both acute and obtuse angles, using the knowledge we have. We will practise with accuracy and precision when drawing angles.
Follow the video and complete the activities linked to it.

Wednesday Topic Task:
In this lesson, we will learn what happens when light travels through two transparent materials. We’re going to learn what refraction is, how we can use it and we will carry out an investigation to show that refraction is occuring. For this lesson you will need a piece of paper and a pencil. If you would like to take part in the demonstration you will need a piece of plain paper and a transparent glass of water. If you don’t have these things then don’t worry! You can still complete the lesson and watch the teacher’s demonstration.
