3D Shapes

As part of our Maths work on Geometry, we have been learning about 3D shapes.  A 3D shape has height, width and depth.
We made these 3D shapes using dried peas and toothpicks.  First the peas need to be soaked over night so that they swell and then you can put toothpicks in them.
The peas are the vertices (corners), the toothpicks are the edges.  The faces are invisible but you can see where they would be.  Can you tell what shapes we made?

Toothpicks

We will be making 3D shapes with toothpicks this THURSDAY -please send some along if you have any we can use!

Calendars

This week we will be working on our Calendar Art!  If you have any scrap booking paper that you no longer need, we'd love to use some for our calendars!  Send it along tomorrow! Many thanks in advance!

School Holidays

If you have done anything exciting or interesting during the school holidays bring along some photos or a leaflet about the place you have visited, to share with the class on Monday.

End of Term 2

We hope you all have a relaxing and enjoyable holiday and look forward to seeing you back in Term 3.

Remember to keep up the reading at home and visit the local library. You could also read some books online using Oxford Owl. Don't forget to complete your book bingo - there will be 5 house points for each square completed. New activities have also been added to Studyladder.
