We have been learning about the 2D shapes: square, triangle, oblong, oval, circle, diamond, pentagon, hexagon and octagon . We need to be able to name these and then describe them using the words straight, curved, long, short, corners, and sides. We worked together to make the different shapes.
Can you name and describe the shapes we have made?
How would you describe a hexagon or an octagon?
We sometimes play our feely bag game. This is where someone is holding a shape in a bag which the rest of us can't see through. They have to describe it to us and we have to make a picture in our head to see if we can work out the shape.
Can you and your family make any more of these shapes and email them in so we can put them on our blog? It might be tricky to make a hexagon or octagon unless you have lots of people or arms in your family!
Wow, this is a really cool idea with string. We must try it ourselves. Neat that you have been looking at our blog, thanks!
