Making Pheasant Traps and Studying the Vitruvian Man

In our final full week in Class 3 we have been making pheasant traps linked to learning from Danny Champion of the World (Roald Dahl).  The children came up with some amazingly creative ideas and such variety.  See the pictures below.

This morning we had a maths related morning testing Leonardo Da Vinci's theories about the 'Vitruvian Man'.  We found that the girls fitted the theories best but all of us found that from the bottom of our knee to the bottom of our feet was a quarter of our height.

Other ones to try-  length of your foot x 7 = height
top of head to chin x 8 = height

I have thoroughly enjoyed teaching all of your wonderful children over the last 7 months and wish them and you all well next year and beyond.

Have a great summer!
