Shape

Pod 2 are learning all about 2D and 3D shapes.  We are learning to sort shapes, describe them and find out how many sides and corners they have.  One way to help us to do this is to make shapes, this can be with clay, rods, straws, geoboards and rubber bands, drawing them etc.  Here are some examples of some of our independent work last week.

 Monty and Myles comparing their triangles on the geoboards.

 Olive and Caitlin drawing shapes in their investigation books.

 Hunter and Jorja making shapes on the geoboards.

 Here is Sebbie's cylinder he created using 2d shapes - great thinking!

Kahlarni and Fletcher with some of the shapes they made using rods, they made a number of hexagons using 6 rods.

Certificates

Look at all of these hard workers. They have been awarded a certificate for their focus on learning, respect for their own work as well as others and for outstanding achievements. Well done.
