This week year 4 has been learning about 3d shapes. We have been learning about the names, the number of faces, the number of vertices and the number of edges. We played ‘Guess my shape?’ because it helped us to learn the correct words when talking about 3D shape. In the game you have to guess the name of the shape that is in the bag by your partners description of it. Next week, we are looking at 3D nets.

I remember when we did 3D shapes. It was really fun. Hope you have fun too!
