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!
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!
