LI: We are learning about 2D shapes.

SC: I can identify and name some 2D shapes.

SC: I can describe some 2D shapes using relevant vocabulary.

Last week, we identified 3D shapes as something which we would like to learn more about. We agreed that we would need to learn about 2D shapes first, and so we have been learning to identify and describe lots of 2D shapes. After analysing and comparing different 2D shapes, we applied what we learned to create 2D shape space pictures. Once our pictures were complete we had fun was counting, naming and describing all of the different shapes within our picture. here are some examples:

We have also really enjoyed playing ‘Guess the Shape’. We take turns to choose a 2D shape from a feely bag. Without looking at the shape we have to describe it effectively so that the rest of the class can identify it.
