Outdoor Learning – 3D Shapes

Last week we built 3D shapes using branches, sticks and string.  We worked in groups and were given the materials that we available to us to use.

Most groups were given the same items however, one group only had pegs to join the corners together.  This made the task very difficult.

All groups successfully made a 3D shape…except from the group with limited materials.  Mrs James explained that she planned this on purpose in order that we could discuss fairness and equality.  This links in with our topic of the Right’s of a Child.

 

On Monday we used our knowledge of 3D shapes and their properties to create nets for 3D shapes.  We used chalk and Loose Parts to draw them.  We worked with a partner or in a group of three to create our diagrams.
