We looked at 2D Shape last week and now it’s the turn of 3D shapes. It was a bit more tricky. We have looked at lots of different real life 3D shapes and played lots of games. We also had fun building with our 3D shapes.

2D shape Walk – The Sequel
More children got the chance to do a 2D shape walk around the school. We were like little magical fairies as we tiptoed around and sneaked into other people’s classes. We were amazed by the range of shapes that we found… but no pentagons or hexagons, sadly.
2D Shapes
Today we were investigating 2D shapes. We had to find them around the school, make 2D shapes and use 2D shapes to make a picture. Have a look at what we got up to.
Making Maths Fun
We try to make the children’s learning as active as possible and we are always trying to come up with new ideas.
We learned to add today by using the droppers and putting out little pools of water onto our adding boards and writing the calculation.
We counted our pennies today, by seeing how many we could put on the lemon before it rolled. ( Today’s record was four!!)
We also continued to look at the comparison of size, using our loose parts.
All in a mornings work!
Scottish Maths Week
We love maths in P1.4 and this week has been no exception. We have been learning to count and write numbers with “El Nombre” – you must know his song by now! We have been practicing to count and write to and from 10 and measured our runner beans using cubes for non standard units.
This week, we have focused on days of the week, seasons, and months. We sorted different items into seasons and then sorted our birthdays into seasons. ( That was tricky!) We made a pictograph with our information. We discovered that the most popular season to have a birthday is in winter.
Whose Runner Bean Plant Is The Tallest?
Our runner beans are running away! We decided to measure them using cubes. We were amazed to discover that Isaac ‘s plant was the tallest with 37cubes! Woah! It was like a beanstalk!
We also discovered that some seeds did not grow at all. These things happen! Maybe there was not enough light or too much/ too little water.
