3D shape activities in Year 2

This week we have been learning about the properties of 3D shapes. After recapping 2D shapes and learning about symmetry, we then created 3D shapes using nets. This helped us understand how many faces, edges and vertices there are in each shape. We went on shape hunts and did lots of practical work to learn about 3D shapes.

Reception Apple Tree Class - How to Grow a Dinosaur

Apple Tree Class

  

This week we have been reading our new topic book, 'How to grow a Dinosaur' and looking at the different types of dinosaurs that existed millions of years ago. We researched the Tyrannosaurus Rex, Spinosaurus, Pterodactyl and Diplodocus and found out as many facts as we could before drawing and writing about them in our special work books.

We also used some 2-D shapes to create pictures of different types of dinosaurs.

Can you guess which dinosaurs they are?



Year 2 Cedar Class - Bee Bots

Cedar Tree Class have been investigating 2-D shape properties. We have used Bee Bots to follow shape properties and used them to draw 2D shapes.
