Coverage this week- Block B

This week we are learning about 3D shapes. We have been revising our knowledge of their names and are continuing to build on our existing knowledge of their properties.

Activity
The children played a shape game today and they really enjoyed it. Here is how to play:

• Gather shapes together- cube, cuboid, cone, sphere, cylinder, triangular based pyramid, square based pyramid and a triangular prism.
• Place the shapes in a line.
• Give your child five lives to guess which shape you are thinking of.
• Your child should ask questions to alleviate the rest of the shapes.
• For every wrong question they lose one life.
• If they get the shape before running out of lives, they get a point.
• If they run out of lives then you get a point.
• Take turns being the quizzer.
