Shape Sorting

We enjoyed ourselves heaps today :)  We had the chance to explore our 2D shapes to play a sorting game.

We chose to sort them out according to colour, same shapes, number of sides and what the shapes were made of!

This was really good fun!

More Minion 3D Shape Magic

Minions get everywhere!!!

Geo Nets are such a great way to explore 3D shapes.  Te Kakano and Rimu worked closely together to construct our Minion Cuboids - aren't we clever!

Enthusiastic workers are the best learners so this means that we shared an awesome Numeracy lesson today :)

"Say Minions!"...

Today we had senior buddies helping us learn about 3D shapes. You'll never believe what we made with our buddies.... a Minion cube!

Of course, we had to check we all knew what a Minion looked like first...
