In class Primary 5/4 have been investigating different 2D and 3D shapes. We have discussed the different properties of each shape and were we might see each shape in a real life context. Primary 4 worked hard to build their own 3D shapes from modelling clay and straws. Everyone had to think very carefully about how many vertices, edges and sides each shape had. Primary 4 also had to put their creative skills to the test when given the task to create a model using different 3D shapes in class. Everyone then had the chance to discuss with their group the shapes that they had used in their model and the properties of each and why certain shapes made for a better base than others. Primary 5 worked hard in pairs to identify different 3D nets of shapes. Once the nets had all been identified in pairs, P5 worked hard and as part of a team to construct their own 3D shape from a net. Fantastic job everyone!
