This morning I woke up and did an activity about tangrams, This involved me making my own tangrams on a really cool website. For my first tangram I chose a basic one, I made a colourful house. It was tricky to keep changing the angles of the shapes it got my brain a bit muddled up too. For my second tangram a made a design a bit more advanced, it was the Sydney Opera House, I chose to do this because this summer my grandad and uncles came over from sydney to see us. This one really got me confused because of all the triangles. What would you make that relates to your summer.
