This week we are learning about 3D shapes. We have been on shape treasure hunts inside and outside. We have been building with 3D shapes and deciding which ones are the best for building. We have learnt lots of new words.
curved, flat, vertices, apex, edge, face, surface
Faces are flat.
Surfaces are curved.
Vertices are where 2 or more edges meet.
An apex is a special kind of vertex at the top of a cone.
We have learnt to name the shapes too – cone, cube, cuboid, sphere and cylinder.
This is what the shapes look like.
Ideas for home learning
What shapes can you find at home?
Can you make a jungle animal using 3D shapes?
Play “I spy with my little eye a shape that has…..”
Please send us photos of your home learning.
