We are learning all about 3D and 2D shapes this term. We looked at a variety of 3D shapes and found out what they were called. Some shapes can have two names, for example, a cylinder is also a prism. We then looked at the 2D shapes within 3D shapes and what they are all called. In pairs we chose a 3D shape to create using paper. We really enjoyed this task!
This week we have been continuing to learn about measuring in maths. We have learnt about length, weight and capacity. Today we have been learning about area and perimeters.
We wrote firework acrostic poems on Wednesday. Last week we worked in groups to create poems and used them to make our own. They were very interesting!
Our topic this term is Light & Dark and this week we looked at different sources of light and what they are used for. We have also made a cave in our classroom.
We also had a visit from a new Gritter. We are entering a competition to name the new gritters. It was really interesting to find out all about them and what they do in the winter.

We have been learning about shape. We have learnt the names of 2D shapes and 3D objects. We have been going on shape hunts! We have been looking for 2D shapes in 3D objects. We have done this in the playground and in the classroom. It has been really good fun! We have looked at 2D nets and then made 3D objects from them. We made cubes, cuboids, triangular-based pyramids, square-based pyramids, triangular prisms and Mrs Spowart made a dodecahedron which has 12 sides and Josh and Freya made an icosahedron which has 20 faces!
We have really enjoyed learning about shape!
