Good morning everyone, hope you enjoyed your PM writing task today.

Remember to listen in to Elevenses with David Walliams at our usual milk and story time of 11.00am.

Today we are going to investigate 3D or solid shapes as they are also called.

• First watch and listen to this short clip explaining what 3D shapes are.

• Now sing along with this fun 3D shape song to learn about cubes, cones, spheres and cylinders.

 

• What do you notice about each different shape?
• Talk to an adult about them.
• Go on a 3D shape hunt around your home and see how many of these shapes you can spot in everyday objects e.g. box – cube,  orange -sphere, washing machine – cuboid, tin of beans – cylinder etc.
• Ask an adult if they can help you take some photos of the 3D objects you have found and perhaps you could share these with us
• Next complete page 7 of your TeeJay Shape Workbook (A9)
• Play this matching game with an adult who will help you to read the names of the 3D shapes
