Maths - WALT identify 2D and 3D shapes

WAL about Geometry.

We have learnt that "Geometry" means shapes.  

We already knew a lot about 2D shapes so spent most of our time learning about 3D shapes.  We went on a shape treasure hunt around the school and took photo's of lots of different 3D shapes.  Some were easy to find and others were hard but it was lots of fun!  We made shape monsters using some of the shapes we had learnt about.

Gordon's Reflection:

"I liked learning about 3D shapes.  It was easy for me.  I found it tricky to find a rhombus shape but we did in the end.  I know all the shape names."

WAL our Basic Facts

Playing Slide Maths with my friend

Gordon's Reflection:

"I like Maths.  I like working with the teacher on the mat.  We have been learning about adding in 10s.  I practised my basic fact homework I got 28 out of 30 but I ran out of time to finish to 50.  My teacher is proud of me."

WALT Choose Words to Make Our Writing More Interesting

The Moon is like Mercury because they are both grey.

The Sun is like an orange basketball because it is round and orange.

Writing Reflection

I like to write about similes.

I am so proud when I do good work.

The next step for me is to use more similes in my stories.

I like Reading Eggs."

Showcase Term 2 - Soccer Skills

This term we had fun with two coaches who taught 

us soccer skills.

It was a little bit tricky learning to control the ball 

as we played against each other in the big soccer arena.

We loved playing Shark Attack because we had to protect our ball.
