28th of September- Our Learning this Week!

We looked at the nets of 3D shapes and now we are starting to recognise them.
We had a group challenge to see which nets of pyramids worked.

Here are the nets that worked and didn't work.                    E is testing a pyramid.

  Here is T cutting out the pyramid net ready to test it.

M is folding the net to test it                                            The 'Sausage Dogs' testing the nets.

                                              We designed 'death masks' for mummies. This is Toby's.
