This week our Maths focus has been 3D shapes. The boys have investigated, constructed, designed and drawn different regular and irregular 3D shapes.

 

 

The boys also played a shape guessing game. The boys were paired up and placed back to back. One of the boys was challenged with describing the properties of a 2D or a 3D shape which they had chosen. The other both needed to guess the shape from the verbal description given. All the boys were most definitely great shape detectives!

 

The boys also reinforced their knowledge of 2D shapes and used the plastic straws to construct regular shapes.

 

The boys have been busy writing and colouring their labels for the presents in Santa’s Workshop. I know that the elves will be very grateful for the extra help, especially as there are only 21 days until the big day!

The boys have also enjoyed using the class computer and they have created some vibrant pictures.

 

 

We have launched into digraphs this week and the boys have used ‘ch’, ‘th’ and ‘ng’ to make new words. Many boys have begun to write sentences with their words and have found being able to write ‘the’ really useful.

Our Understanding the World focus is Christmas Traditions. The boys have learnt when the first Christmas cards were sent and why.

We have also been busy rehearsing for our Christmas performances next week. We are very much looking forward to seeing you there on Thursday and Friday morning.

Have a brilliant weekend!
