Maths
We continued looking at 3D shapes today, focusing in particular on cubes and cuboids. How many cubes are there in this picture? How many cuboids?
If you have construction materials (such as Lego or klixi), see if you can make some models of cubes and cuboids. Maybe you can find some things in your recycle box that are cubes or cuboids. How many faces are there on each? What shape are these faces?
We also took turns to have a go at this shape game, completing the pattern with the correct 2D shape: shape patterns
English
Today, we wrote sentences to do with the seasons and day length. Are the days longer or shorter in summer? Do you know why? This video may help you to understand more about how we have day and night: day and night
Can you write a sentence about day length and how the days get longer as the summer approaches? Here is an idea of what you could write (if an adult dictates it to you):
In winter, the days are short and in the summer the days are longer.
Remember the ‘er’ endings on ‘short’ and ‘long’. You may want to write a sentence about when the days are the longest and when they are the shortest.
