This week in Willow we have been learning about the names of 3D shapes and describing them using some good Maths language. Today we used the Polydroid to make a cuboid 'Post box' for our Post office. We are going to cover it with red paper ready to put any christmas cards in that the children may write.
We also tried to mould some 3D shapes with the playdough and build them from the clixi and polydron.
This week we are going to look out for 3D shapes that we see around us, we've already spotted that the cupboard is a cuboid shape, a toilet roll is like a cylinder and a ball is a sphere. Post a comment on here if you notice any other objects that are like the 3D shapes we have learnt.
I hope you enjoyed learning about shapes. by Millie beech
