This week we have been learning a lot about 2D and 3D shapes. We know that 2D shapes are flat and 3D shapes are fat!
At the start of the week we cut out the net shape of a square-based pyramid and made it look like a Christmas tree. We then cut out shapes that we drew and stuck them on our Christmas trees. After we had finished sticking on all of our shapes, we counted them and recorded it on the bottom of our trees.
This week we also did a very exciting Shape Hunt! We were put into shape groups and given magazines to search through to find our given shape. We found lots of shapes in the magazines of real objects and our finished shape boards look fantastic!
Hi Primary 1w,
WOW! Your Christmas trees look fantastic and what a great way to learn about 3D shape. The Shape Hunt sounds very interesting too. Only 6 sleeps until Santa comes. Not long now!
Have a lovely weekend.
