Primary 2b – 3D Junk Sharks

Primary 2b have been learning about 2D and 3D shape. We used our topic “Under the Sea” to help us learn about these shapes by making model sharks out of junk. First we drew a plan of our shark and used the correct 3D shapes to make a shark matching our drawings. We really impressed Miss Menzies by working together and sharing any junk that we were not using with the other boys and girls in our class. We then used our experiences in junk modelling to help us with our functional writing by creating a set of instructions to show how we made our junk sharks. We had a great time and learned lots.
