Last week in Maths, we began looking at 3D shapes and their properties. We did a fun learning carousel where we played 3D shape loop cards, created a Venn diagram to categorise the faces of different shapes, shape bingo, true or false questions in our textbooks and an interactive game on the smart board.

Mimi designed and created an amazing 3D model as part of her homework – a lighthouse. She used paper, card, a bike light, a CD, a pringles tub, ice lolly sticks, shells and a Ferrero rochero case to make her model. It looked so realistic, and perfectly made to scale!

We will continue learning about 3D shape during Outdoor Learning week, where we will be using natural materials to construct shape nets and calculating the volumes of 3D shapes using mathematic formulas!
