Children will naturally explore 3-D shapes through block play and modelling. They have been introduced to the names of the shapes. Can they explore the similarities and differences between them and to sort them according to what they notice. Prompt them to consider which shapes are good for stacking, which will roll and why that is (use photos attached for discussion or if you have any 3D shapes around your house, everyday objects) Can you use a variety of everyday objects in different shapes and sizes such as boxes, tubes, balls etc.  

Attached are photos of 3D shapes. Can you pick a photo and describe the shape. Can you find another shape like this? Can they find a different shape? How is it different?  

Can you sort the shapes into groups? Why did you put certain shapes together? Is there another way we could sort them?  

If you were to build a tower using the shapes. Which shapes work best on the top? Are there any shapes which are not good for building? Why?  

Challenge: Using pictures of palace, mosques, cities etc. What shapes can you see in these buildings? Can you build your own model. Which shapes will you use.  

Extension: If you have playdoh can you try and make 3-D shapes. Which shapes are easiest to make? Why? Which are harder to make? Why? Did you use any equipment to help you make a flat side?

Topic: 

Minibeast art: Leaf art 

What is your favourite minibeast? Go on a walk and collect some leaves, sticks and bark. Can you use this to make a minibeast of your own. In the example below they have used a piece of cardboard and painted it a bright colour. Then stuck down the leaves etc to make the minibeast.  Have a look at the attachments below for an example. 

Viking Academy Trust Writing Competition 

Hi Everyone, 

This week, Mr McAuley (from Chilton Primary School) will be launching a new and exciting Viking Academy Trust writing competition! On this occasion though, we are extra fortunate because we have a professional author on board whose writing yours will be based ... Martyn Harvey, the author of The Boy with The Sauce Pan Hat, has very kindly given us special access to his poems, before they are released to the general public!

Every day this week, there will be a new poem on your blog to watch, where he or another member of the Trust will talk about the poem and its' inspiration.

Finally, on Friday, when you have watched all his poems, he will announce this term’s writing competition and a poster will appear on your blog explaining exactly what you will need to do.

I hope you enjoy the poems, and keep an eye out for the launch on Friday when you will find out exactly what you will need to do.

I look forward to receiving lots of your poetic entries in the coming weeks.

Here is video 1:The Millipede: https://vimeo.com/416956768

Best wishes and stay safe!

Miss Rees-Boughton
