Can you sort 3d shapes in different ways, according to their properties, such as faces, edges and vertices?

Find some of your own 3d shapes. Can you sort them in different ways?

Here are some ideas to help:

-shapes with curved faces, shapes without curved faces

-shapes with 6 faces, shapes that do not have 6 faces

-shapes with 8 vertices, shapes that do not have 8 vertices.

R. E.

In R.E. we have been learning about what Christians believe about Easter. We have been focusing on the events of Holy Week and have already heard the story of Palm Sunday and the Last Supper.

Can you find out a bit more about the events of Holy Week and the Easter story?

A children’s Bible might help if you have one or click here for the story on Espresso.

Activity – Write a sentence to match each picture on the Holy Week picture sheet below.

Don't forget to look on the Forest School webpage for forest school type activities you can do in your home and garden.

Friday 27^th March

Good morning Tomlinson class. Hope you are well and enjoying the sunshine.

English - poetry

Can you finish my Spring acrostic poem? Try to include some similes and adjectives.

Sunshine as yellow as daffodils

Pink blossom like candyfloss

Rabbits……

Insects ………

New lambs…….

Green………..

Now copy out the finished poem in your neatest writing (joined if you can). I wish I could see your poems! 

Maths – 3d shapes

Find some 3d shapes (cones, cubes, cuboids, spheres, pyramids, cylinders, triangular prisms)

Have a good look at each one. Can you identify:

 - the number of faces and their shapes (Faces can be flat or curved.)

 -the number of edges (where faces meet)

- the number of vertices (the points where edges meet)

Make a table like the one below to record the number of faces, edges and vertices each shape has:-

Quest

As the weather is nice, continue to look for signs of spring in your garden or during your outside exercise time with your family, if this is part of your routine (please remember social distancing).

Can you name any animals or plants that you see? Looking under stones and logs can be interesting, but remember to carefully put back after, as these are part of the animal’s home.
