Pizzas and 3d shapes

This week we have moved onto 3d shapes and have been learning all about spheres, pyramids, cubes, cuboids, cones and cylinders. They can now recognise and name them and sort 3D shapes according to type, number of faces and vertices. We have also been talking about the shapes spotting differences and similarities between them. These are some of the maths questions they have discussed with their talk partners .

Look at a cube and a cuboid. What is the same? What is different? Discuss.

I’m thinking of a shape, I have 1 face, I am 3d,
and my face is curved.

Can they find any 3d shapes living in your home?


In Literacy we have started to look at the story of the Pizza Princess. The Princess loves pizza but unfortunately forgets her manners!

The children have worked really hard creating their own story characters using alliteration. We have a Marmalade Mermaid, Raspberry Robber, Mango Magician, Banana Ballerina and a Jam and a Jelly Jockey to name a few.

They have also worked really hard creating storymaps to retell the story but using their new character and new food. Next week we shall be writing the story.

Remember they are making Pizzas on Monday and Mrs Lucas would like Cheese and Tomato Pizza please.

Have a lovely weekend.
