Term 2 is shaping up to be a busy one! We have had parent teacher interviews, NAPLAN, cross country, running assembly, program checking as well as the everyday teaching! Never a dull moment in teaching!
But I thought I would share a little activity year 5 did today. They have been working so hard during NAPLAN in the mornings this week that I thought it would be good aswell as practical to give them a hands-on activity to do for the time period after their NAPLAN test til lunch.
We have been studying some properties of 3D shapes and I found this awesome idea off pinterest to do to reinforce some of the skills we have been looking at.
Using 3D nets the students have to plan and create a castle using certain shapes and then calculate the total number of faces/edges/vertices that their castle had!
They got pretty into it. The classroom was full of noise and cutting and glue-ing and cardboard as they developed their castles!
Here are the final products!
We had damsel's in distress, moats, bridges and lots more!
What a fun day!
