2D Shapes

We have been learning about 2D shapes! We know all about squares (4 corners and 4 equal sides), rectangles (4 corners and 4 sides-2 short and 2 long), circles (0 corners and 1 side) and triangles (3 corners and 3 sides). We went for shape hunts around the school with our partners and found lots of examples of these shapes in the local environment! Today we made some 2D shape snowmen, as it is feeling very much like winter today!!! 

The 5 Senses

We have been learning about the 5 senses in the Junior Classroom, and what body part we use for each sense.

Last week we created collages for each sense using pictures from magazines and played a senses bingo game...

 This week we discussed textures and different words to describe how something feels. We then made Texture Monsters... 

On Friday, for Science Week, we made popcorn! We thought of words for each sense about popcorn and then did a writing activity based on this. Best of all, we had to eat the popcorn to see how it tasted!!! Yummy...
