Creating pictures using 2-D shapes

In maths class on Wednesday, 19th Feburay we created pictures using only 2-D shapes in Microsoft paint.  Can you name all the 2D shapes in our pictures?  We worked in pairs and really enjoyed this activity.  Here are some of our pictures we made.  (Visit our class website to see the full album).

Europe

 Winning Poem by Fabien

If in Europe and you’re Hungary to eat,

Try some Turkey roasted in Greece

If you’re thirsty when you dine

Spain, Germany, France and Italy make great wine.

Switzerland is famous for it’s watches

And more importantly, it’s yummy chocolates!

Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg take a short cut

Together they are know as the Benelux

Malta and Cyprus are very small

Russia is the biggest of them all.

Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Norway

Together they tell a fiercesome story,

Of Long Ships and hairy Vikings,

Raiders who are very frightening.

Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are great,

Together they make up the Baltic States.

Old Mrs. Kelleher knew it as Czechoslovakia

These days divided into Czech Republic and Slovakia.

When she was young Croatia, Slovenia and Serbia

Were even part of Yugoslavia!

For vampires visit Transylvania

When you are next in Romania.

Poland gave us pope John Paul

Who came to Ireland to visit all.

Portugal is good for the sun,

In Austria’s mountains you can have some fun.

If you can think of something to rhyme with Bulgaria

Then I say – well fair play to ya!!

United Kingdom is an island

Made up of Scotland, England, wales and Northern Ireland

Ireland is way out west

But it is the country I like to live in best.
