This week, the children explored some 2D shapes. We looked at the shapes and sides of each one (properties) to help us decide the name.
We know that some shapes look different when we change their position, but they are still the same shape!
“A circle has one side that goes all of the way around.” Elliot
“A triangle has three sharp points.” Avery
“That piece of paper looks like a rectangle.” Frankie
“A hexagon has six sides.” Blossom
“Could a circle roll?” Miss Gledhill
We looked around our classroom to find 2D shapes. We know that they are everywhere and not just in our maths area!
Help at home: Can your child recognise any 2D shapes at home?
We loved singing this song to help us remember the 2D shapes.
