This week, Primary 2/1 were learning about shapes!
We explored examples of solid 3D shapes and discussed how they were different to flat 2D shapes. We were also able to identify real-life objects that were 3D shapes. Primary 1 children learned the correct names for 3D shapes and Primary 2 children were classifying shapes using their own criteria.
We linked our new knowledge of shapes to castle building and recognised that some parts of castles were 3D shapes (e.g. a cylinder as a tower, a cone as a turret roof, a cuboid as a drawbridge). We then worked in teams and used construction blocks to create our own castle models.
Check in with us again next week to see what else we have been learning!
