Exciting Extras Nailed It! With supervision from an adult, bake a set of cupcakes – don’t eat them yet! Once you have cleaned up, design 3 images of dogs to recreate on your cupcakes. Using your ingredients such as icing, oreos, choc chips, m&m’s etc, try and create your design. Don’t forget to have an adult check over your design. They may need to help you with various components of your design. Once finished, take a photo and post your Nailed It! designs to your Google Classroom Here are some examples:

Laundry Landscapes Textile artists use fabric to create stunning landscapes. Resources: Your clothes Task: Create a parkland using your clothes (laundry). You won’t be using a sewing machine but try folding and twisting clothes to create a landscape. Do NOT cut anything without permission. Remember, the main focus is on the scenery. Remember to put your clothes back where you found them, folded neatly. Take a photo of your laundry landscape and upload it to your Google Classroom. Your artwork could look These three examples are made by textile artists: like this!

Nature’s Mandala Resources: a container

items from the garden A flat place to make the mandala – perhaps the veranda, or footpath.

Mandala means ‘circle’. Mandalas were first created by the Buddhist monks, who appeared around 560 BC. That’s 2580 years ago!

While the main idea behind mandalas is to be able to engage in a spiritual and self-discovering experience, they can also be made for complete fun and leisure.

1. Your first job is to go outside and collect things in a container to make a mandala with. The items you might collect could include flower parts, leaves, seed pods, stones, sticks, grasses, feathers – anything you can find outside. Make sure you check before pulling the garden apart though. If you can go for a walk around your block, you might be able to find flowers and leaves hanging over the fence to collect. Be respectful, and don’t ever reach through someone’s fence.

2. Lay all the materials out and take the time to look at each of them. Sort and collect the materials by size, shape, colour etc.

4. Find a place to create a mandala or similar composition. The idea that the nature mandala is not permanent, so there’s no use of glue.

5. Start to create a simple pattern or shape by placing a larger object in the middle.

6. Keep adding until you decide that the mandala is finished. If you’ve made a mandala outside, observe the changes that wind, rain and sun can make to the formation over the next few days.

7. Take a photograph of your natural mandala and upload it to your Google Classroom.

Measurement and Geometry Two Dimensional Space (links to curriculum): • compare and describe features of the sides of equilateral, isosceles and scalene triangles • explore by measurement side and angle properties of equilateral, isosceles and scalene triangles

Triangles What is a triangle? Think of words that start with ‘tri’. A triathlon is a three-event race and a tripod is a three-legged stand for keeping a camera or telescope steady. The prefix ‘tri’ means ‘three’. So a triangle has three angles. It also has three straight sides. Triangles can be sorted according to the lengths of their sides or according to the sizes of their interior angles. Equilateral triangles A triangle with all of its sides the same length is called equilateral. ‘Equilateral’ comes from two Latin words meaning ‘equal’ and ‘sides’. Here are some pictures of equilateral triangles.

If all three angles in a triangle are the same, we call it equiangular, from two Latin words meaning ‘equal’ and ‘angles’. Every equiangular triangle is also equilateral. This is a special property of triangles. This shape has equal sides but different angles.

This shape has equal angles but different sides.

Isosceles triangles A triangle with at least two sides the same length is called isosceles, from two Greek words meaning ‘equal’ and ‘legs’. Every equilateral triangle is isosceles, but there are isosceles triangles that are not equilateral. Here are some pictures of isosceles triangles. Which one is equilateral and which ones are isosceles but not equilateral?

If a triangle has exactly two angles the same, then it has to be isosceles, but need not be equilateral. You can see in the pictures above that the triangle in the middle and the one on the right have exactly two angles equal. Scalene triangles The only other thing that can happen is that all of the sides of the triangle have different lengths. We call these triangles scalene, from a Latin word meaning ‘to mix things up’. Here are some pictures of scalene triangles.

If all three angles in a triangle are different then the triangle has to be scalene. Draw a few to convince yourself this is true.

Right-angled triangles When one of the angles in a triangle is 90°, we call it a right-angled triangle. Here are some right-angled triangles. Which ones are isosceles and which ones are scalene?

Can a right-angled triangle be equilateral? Either draw one or explain why there aren’t any. Can you see why there cannot be two right angles in a triangle? Draw some diagrams to help. Obtuse-angled triangles When the biggest angle is more than 90°, we call the triangle an obtuse-angled triangle. Here are some obtuse-angled triangles. Which one is isosceles and which one is scalene?

Can an obtuse-angled triangle be equilateral? Either draw one or explain why there aren’t any. Acute-angled triangles If all of the angles are less than 90°, we call the triangle an acute-angled triangle. Here are some acute-angled triangles. Which ones are isosceles and which one is scalene?

Can an acute-angled triangle be equilateral? Draw one.

Question Time! After completing the questions above in green, continue with these questions in a notebook. You will need a protractor to complete some of these tasks.

1. Draw an acute-angled triangle with one side 6cm in length – Acute-angled triangles have all angles less than 90°.

2. Draw an isosceles triangle with one right angle – Isosceles triangles have 2 equal sides. 3. Draw and then cut out as many different types of triangles as you can from what you have learnt so

far. Label each triangle and make a poster to display your work. 4. Use a pencil and ruler to draw: 5. An isosceles triangle with two sides 4cm in length 6. An obtuse-angled, scalene triangle with one side equal to 5cm 7. A right-angled triangle that is not scalene 8. A triangle with two angles equal to 60°

9. We sometimes use the word ‘base’ to name the side of the triangle that it ‘sits’ on. Use a protractor and a ruler to construct triangles using the base and the angles shown. Measure the third angle in your triangle and label the size of it in your diagram.

10. Copy each shape and draw a line inside each to form two right-angled triangles

Measurement and Geometry Two Dimensional Space (links to curriculum):

• explore by measurement angle properties of squares, rectangles, parallelograms and rhombuses • identify and draw regular and irregular two-dimensional shapes from descriptions of their side and angle properties

Quadrilaterals Quadruplets are four children born to the same mother at the same time. A ‘quad’ vehicle has four wheels. Can you think of other words that start with ‘quad’?

What is a quadrilateral? In Latin, ‘latus’ means ‘side,’ so a quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. It has four vertices also. There are many different kinds of quadrilaterals; some have special names. We know two kinds of quadrilaterals already. Rectangles and squares both have four sides. Rectangle A rectangle is a quadrilateral in which all the angles are right angles. The opposite sides of a rectangle have the same length. These sides are parallel to each other. Properties of a rectangle

1. All angles are right angles. 2. Opposite sides are parallel. 3. Opposite sides have the same length.

Square A square is a very special kind of rectangle. All of its sides have the same length. Parallelogram A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with opposite sides parallel. It looks like a ‘pushed over’ rectangle. Rectangles and squares are special kinds of parallelograms. They have four right angles as well as opposite sides parallel. Trapezium A trapezium has two sides that are parallel. You might have seen a table at school with this shape. Rhombus A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal sides. Think of a rhombus as a square pushed sideways.

A square is a special kind of rhombus. If you have a rhombus with four right angles, it is a square.

Look at a pack of cards and find a ‘diamond’ card. Can you see that the diamond is a rhombus? A diamond is a rhombus drawn vertically.

Kite A kite has two pairs of adjacent sides equal. So a rhombus and a square are special kinds of kite.

Question Time! After reading the above information, complete with these questions in a notebook. Don’t forget to use a ruler for straight lines. A protractor will also be needed for some of these questions.

1. Draw a parallelogram that is also a kite. What other name could you give to this shape? A parallelogram has 4 sides equal.

2. Draw a rectangle with equal sides. What other name could you give this? 3. Draw and cut out as many different types of quadrilaterals as you can make from what you have

learnt. Label each quadrilateral and make a poster to display your work. 4. Draw:

a. A square with 5cm sides b. A trapezium with a base of 6cm and the side opposite its base equal to 4cm c. A parallelogram with at least one angle equal to 130° d. A rectangle with one pair of sides equal to 1cm and the other pair linger than your left thumb.

5. Draw a rhombus with at least one right angle. Record what you notice. 6. Construct quadrilaterals using the sides and angles shown. Measure the missing sides and missing

angles, and mark each on your drawing.

c. What is the sum of the angles in each? d. What do you notice about the missing side in question a?

Extension: 7. Draw a shape that has four sides of 4cm and the angle at M is as follows. (You may need to use trial

and error to get the sides to meet.) The first one has been done for you:

a. M = 60°

b. M = 90° c. M = 150°

Measurement and Geometry Two Dimensional Space (links to curriculum):

• identify and draw regular and irregular two-dimensional shapes from descriptions of their side and angle properties • explain the difference between regular and irregular shapes

Other Polygons In this section we look at how shapes with more than four sides are named. As before, the name of each shape tells us something about its properties. Pentagons The Greek prefix ‘penta’ means ‘five’ and ‘gon’ means ‘angle’. So a pentagon has five angles. It also has five vertices and five sides. Here are two pentagons. Regular pentagons Regular pentagons have five equal angles and five equal sides. Each angle is 108°. The marks on the sides in the diagram indicate that the side lengths are all the same. Hexagons The Greek prefix ‘hexa’ means ‘six’ and ‘gon’ means ‘angle’. So a hexagon has six angles. It also has six vertices and six sides. Here are two hexagons. The first one is a regular hexagon. The second one is a non-convex irregular hexagon.

Regular hexagons • Regular hexagons have six equal angles

and six equal sides. Each angle is 120°. • Two-dimensional shapes are named

according to the number of sides. We could start the list below by calling a one-sided shape a monogon and a two-sided shape a digon.

But what would they look like? Try for yourself. Do you agree that one-sided shapes and two-sided shapes do not make any sense? • We have already discussed a three-

sided shape – which we call a triangle – but it could also be called a trigon. A four-sided shape is known as a quadrilateral, but it could be called a tetragon.

• A regular polygon has all sides equal and all angles equal.

Question Time! After reading the above information, complete with these questions in a notebook. Don’t forget to use a ruler for straight lines. A protractor will also be needed for some of these questions.

1. Draw a sketch of a regular pentagon. Now draw lines to show how you could cut the pentagon into 5 isosceles triangles.

2. Draw a regular pentagon. Now draw lines to show how you could cut the pentagon into 3 triangles a. Can the pentagon be cut into 3 triangles in another way?

3. Are any of your triangles special – equilateral, isosceles or scalene? 4. Measure the sides and angles of these shapes

a.

b.

c.

5. I am a shape. What shape am I? a. I have 6 equal sides and 6 equal angles. b. I have 12 sides. c. I have the same number of sides and an octopus has legs. d. I have 5 sides. e. I have 10 sides. f. My prefix means 5 and the rest of my name is the same as 10-sided.

6. Draw or trace these shapes to complete the questions below. a. Draw a rectangle. Draw a line to show how you could cut the rectangle into 2 right-angled

triangles. In how many ways can you do this? b. Draw a square. Now draw a line to show how you could cut the square into 2 rectangles. How

can you make them equal rectangles? c. Draw a square. Now draw lines to show how you could cut the square into 3 equal rectangles. d. Draw a rhombus. Now draw a line to show how you could cut the rhombus into 2 equal

triangles. In how many ways can you do this? e. Draw or trace a regular hexagon. Now draw lines to show how you could cut the hexagon into

6 equilateral triangles. f. Draw a square. Now draw a line to show how you could cut the square into one triangle and

one irregular pentagon. g. Draw or trace a regular hexagon. Now draw a line to show how you could cut the hexagon

into one isosceles triangle and one irregular pentagon. Extension

7. Take an equilateral triangle. (You might have one in a set of plastic shapes or you can create our own.)

a. Trace it. Now trace a second triangle that has one edge in common with the first triangle.

b. Trace a third triangle that has an edge in common with the second, and a vertex in common with the first and the third. Now you should have a trapezium.

c. Keep racing triangles, going around the vertex at the centre all triangles have in common, until you have a hexagon.

d. How many triangles did you draw?

Primary and Secondary Sources

Primary and secondary sources Primary sources provide a first-hand account of an event or time period and are considered to be authoritative. They represent original thinking, reports on discoveries or events, or they can share new information. Often these sources are created at the time the events occurred but they can also include sources that are created later. They are usually the first formal appearance of original research. Secondary sources involve analysis, synthesis, interpretation, or evaluation of primary sources. They often attempt to describe or explain primary sources. Scholarly journals, although generally considered to be secondary sources, often contain articles on very specific subjects and may be the primary source of information on new developments. Primary and secondary categories are often not fixed and depend on the study or research you are undertaking. For example, newspaper editorial/opinion pieces can be both primary and secondary. If exploring how an event affected people at a certain time, this type of source would be considered a primary source. If exploring the event, then the opinion piece would be responding to the event and therefore is considered to be a secondary source.

Primary sources Examples of primary resources include: • diaries, correspondence, ships' logs • original documents e.g. birth certificates,

trial transcripts • biographies, autobiographies, manuscripts • interviews, speeches, oral histories • case law, legislation, regulations,

constitutions

• government documents, statistical data, research reports

• a journal article reporting NEW research or findings

• creative art works, literature • newspaper advertisements and reportage

and editorial/opinion pieces

Secondary sources Secondary sources offer an analysis, interpretation or a restatement of primary sources and are considered to be persuasive. They often involve generalisation, synthesis, interpretation, commentary or evaluation in an attempt to convince the reader of the creator's argument. They often attempt to describe or explain primary sources. Examples of secondary sources include: • journal articles that comment on or analyse

research • textbooks • dictionaries and encyclopaedias • books that interpret, analyse

• political commentary • biographies • dissertations • newspaper editorial/opinion pieces • criticism of literature, art works or music

Primary Sources The following questions should be answered for each source. This is called annotating. What is it?

• Identify the type of source and what it contains. Is it a letter, newspaper article, photograph, document?

• Is it a primary or a secondary source? What does it show?

• Identify images, symbols, characters. • What are the key words and what do they mean? • What is it about?

When was the source written, produced, made? • At the time of events described or later? How much later – 5 years or 100?

Who wrote, produced or made it? • Is it an eyewitness, someone involved in events described or someone writing about what they’ve

heard or researched? • From whose perspective is the source based on?

Why was it written or produced? • Are there personal motives, e.g. letter to parents? • Are there political reasons, e.g. censored newspaper article? • Is it propaganda, e.g. recruitment poster?

How is it written or produced? • Does it give a particular point of view? • Does it give a detached, balanced account? • Is it biased either for or against the issue? • How useful is it for an historian researching a particular aspect of history?
