We had lots of fun creating 2D Shape Robots, yesterday. We revised the shapes; circle, square, triangle and rectangle and learned 2 new shapes.
We counted their sides and talked about what we thought they might be called. After some great answers, the class learned they were called Pentagon (5sides) and Hexagon (6sides). We also talked about how sometimes the beginning of a number word can give us a clue about its meaning:
UNIcycle = 1 wheel
BIcycle = 2 wheels
TRIcycle = 3 wheels
We know that PENT- means 5 and HEX- means 6! We’ll need to ask P7 if they know their Greek and Latin number prefixes like us!
The pupils worked so well in pairs, they are beginning to see the benefits of teamwork and importance of compromise! Well done P1.4!
