Learning about Shapes

The children have embarked in learning about shapes in Maths. They have been exploring both 2D and 3D shapes and objects. Through engaging activities, they have explored the names of shapes and have described their features. From identifying sides, corners, and vertices, faces and edges, our children are building geometric language.

Family Engagement Activity: Shape Hunt

Looking for a fun and interactive way to reinforce shape knowledge at home? Join us in a shape hunt adventure! Encourage your child to explore their surroundings and discover shapes hiding in plain sight. Here are some prompts to get you started:

Triangles in your house: Can your child spot objects with triangular shapes?
Things with 6 flat sides in your house: Hunt for hexagons lurking around your home.
Cylinders in your house: Keep an eye out for cylindrical objects waiting to be found.
Rectangles in your house: Seek out rectangles adorning various items in your household.
Things with round edges: Discover the beauty of circles and other curved shapes.

Interactive Game: Eye Spy with My Little Eye

Elevate the fun with a classic game of Eye Spy, but with a geometric twist! Challenge your child to spy objects based on shape-related clues. Here are some prompts to kickstart the fun:

Is round: Can your little detective spot something circular?
Has more than 3 straight edges: Search for objects with a plethora of straight edges.
Has 8 corners: Seek out shapes with precisely eight corners.
Has curved edges: Uncover objects adorned with smooth, curved edges.
Has flat sides/surfaces: Explore the world of flat surfaces and sides.

Assembly Highlights

We're excited to share that our school assembly was led by the wonderful children of the 3/4 Waa hub group! It was a fantastic kickoff to our assemblies, highlighting the importance of these gatherings in fostering a strong sense of community and celebrating the learning achievements of our children.

Thank you to the 3/4 Waa children for their dedication and effort in making this assembly enjoyable but also a reflection of the incredible learning journey taking place within our school community.

The assembly was a true celebration of our children’s learning, growth and accomplishments. From showcasing creative projects to sharing inspiring stories, it was an enriching experience for everyone involved. The next assembly will be on Friday 10th May hosted by our 5/6 Maram children. We hope to see you there.
