We started the morning with spelling bingo and then had a quick look at the "tion" words they will be working on as part of their literacy on Monday with Mrs Klonaris. I asked students to see if they could work out the base word for each of the nouns. It was then on to viewing Storm Boy. Nearly the whole class has now read this Australian classic.
After the movie students were given the nets for some 3D shapes they will be making up for their Shapes Boards. They have now finished with the hand drawn nets of tetrahedrons, cubes, rectangular prisms and squared-based pyramids. The shapes included a truncated pyramid, a stepped pyramid and a double hexagonal pyramid. On Tuesday they each receive a piece of card on which to glue their shapes, name them and write about the attributes of each one under it, such as its number of faces, edges and vertices. I told them about Euler's law too. The number of faces plus vertices - 2 will give you the number of edges.
This chart may assist some students when it comes to naming and writing up about their shapes.
After lunch we settled into making more of our softies.
