Math: 3D Shapes

The students of Room 108 when on a scavenger hunt around the room to identify different shapes that they found. We focused on:

a)    Cylinders

b)    Cones

c)     Rectangular Prisms

d)    Cubes

e)     Spheres 

                                             

                  

At home: Have your child find the various shapes and describe their properties.

Exploring the Features of Shapes:

  

As our letter of the week is R (cross-curricular math and science), we focused on how 3D shapes “roll” down “ramps”. We explored different shapes and discussed what helps them roll (round edges, curved edges etc…) We compared different shapes and the class predicted which shapes would roll or slide and why. In discovery centres, through play, the students of Room 108 explored various items in the classroom and tested their ability to "roll", they also played around with the height of the ramp.

Letter of the week: R

To stay consistent with our letter of the week, our Art task this week is creating “Red Rectangle Robots”.

Our DRAMA CENTRE is UNDER CONSTRUCTION!

Room 108 has agreed to turn the drama centre into a Restaurant. Over the next few weeks we will be creating menus, pictures and re-creating the layout of the drama centre. Discuss what a restaurant might look like with your child and maybe have them come up with ideas that they can share with the class.
