2D and 3D shapes that roll or slide

We had lots of fun with shapes today.

We had to name squares, rectangles, circles, triangles and hexagons and we had to find out which shapes roll, which shapes slide, and which do both.

Next we tried with our 3D shapes: cube, cuboid, cylinder, sphere, triangular prism, hexagonal prism, cone, triangular pyramid and square pyramid.

We discovered that all the shapes which rolled had circles in them.

Shapes with corners slide very well but don't roll!

Positional words

We had fun giving directions and getting our friends to put bugs or shapes on a grid on the board.

We used the words over, under, beside, to the left of, to the right of...

We practised our colours and all our shapes including squares, circles, rectangles, ovals, triangles, pentagons, hexagons, octagons and decagons.

Telling the time

 We are learning to tell the time.  We are all really good at reading the hours, and some of us are great at reading the half hours too!

We would love you to ask us at home and we can help you read the time!

Fun with counting

We are playing lots of fun number games this week.  Snakes and ladders is just one of them.

Shape and space

Making pictures from shapes was great fun.  The children could make any picture they liked using the different shapes they had cut out.
