Today in maths we explored polygons! We learned that regular polygons have equal length sides and equal interior angles, while irregular polygons do not. The children loved using Dienes rods to create their own regular and irregular polygons! @MissPenfoldCTS @CTS_Watford https://t.co/9Ninb7FrPd

It was so nice visiting the canal today to see our learning come to life! We saw locks being used, narrowboats sailing along and even evidence of the traditional method of moving boats along the canal - being towed by a horse on a rope! @MrsMalhotraCTS @CTS_Watford https://t.co/i1ekpjU6UQ
