Shape Thursday

Today we are going to do some more work on shape.

• 2 Dimensional shapes, or 2D shapes, are flat, like these:

circle

square

triangle

rectangle

• 3 Dimensional shapes, or 3D shapes, are solid, like these:

sphere

cube

pyramid

cuboid

Warm Up:

• Click on the links below to take you to some great videos and quizzes to teach you about 2D and 3D shapes!  

• Jack Hartmann again! Watch his 2D shape video and name the shapes:

• Watch this Jack Hartmann video about 3D shapes:

Main Task:

• Look at the 2 worksheets below and talk to someone about the answers – of you would like to, you can write the answers in your jotter.

• Can you talk about the properties of these 2D shapes?  That means what is it about the shape that makes it that shape.  How many corners/vertices does each one have?  How many sides/edges does each one have?

Extra Challenge:

• Can you talk about the properties of these 3D shapes?  That means what makes them this shape?  How many faces does each one have?  How many corners/vertices does each one have?  How many edges does each one have?

• So a cylinder has 3 faces (2 flat and 1 curved face) and 2 edges, but 0 corners (or vertices)

(If you are able to, you could try and find objects in your house that are these shapes, as it is hard to tell properly from just a picture)

Dictation Wednesday

Today we are going to do some dictated sentences – we used to do them in the morning to warm up our brain 🧠. Miss Murray would read out a sentence and you had to write the sentence on your whiteboards – do you remember? 

Just like in class – have a go and try your best!

Warm Up:

• Warm up your brain by reading these words on the video – can you read them before the man on the video says them?

Main Activity:

• For this activity you will need to ask nicely for an adult or a brother or sister to help you. Ask them to please read out the sentences below and then you write them down in your jotter

• When your helper is reading the sentences, ask them to please read them slowly and read them a few times so you remember them

• Remember a capital letter, finger spaces and a full stop. Try and write in your neatest handwriting with small, tall and fall letters. 

• Read your sentences back after you have finished to make sure you haven’t missed any words. 

Extra Challenge: 

• Why not draw your own illustrations to match your sentences.

• Can you make up some dictated sentences for someone in your house? Remember to mark their work afterwards and make sure their sentences are correct!
