We have been having fun exploring 3D shape this week.  We have been learning about the properties of spheres, cubes, cuboids, cylinders and cones.  We have been trying to set up a 3D shape touch table but are still waiting for lots of 3D shapes from everyone in the class – well done to those boys and girls who remembered to bring a 3D shape to school.

We have been carrying out experiments to find out which shapes are best for rolling or stacking and are beginning to recognise why this is the case.

Today we went on a 3D shape hunt in the playground to find out which shapes are the most common.  We took a tally of the shapes we found and counted up the total.  We found out that we have lots of cylinders and cuboids in our class.
