We are learning about shape for our new maths topic.  Following on from our learning in class on quadrilaterals, triangles and polygons, we took our learning outside and used the environment to identify shapes that we know. We also used natural materials to make our own 2D shapes. To challenge ourselves, we made 3D shapes too.

In our groups, we had different roles.  Some of us hunted for shapes, others noted the shapes in our jotted and others videoed us as we made short clips of what we have found.  We took turns of each role too.

All of us successfully worked together and achieved the success criteria for the lesson. Here’s one of the videos we made.

At the end of the lesson, we played a game against the other teams.  Miss McCue would shout out the name of a polygon and we had to work together and use our bodies to make the shape.  This was so much fun and much more difficult than it sounds. The winning team got 5 Dojo points each. 🥳🤩
