Super shape sorting in Year 2

-

 

We have been learning about the properties of 2d and 3d shapes. Today we worked collaboratively to sort our 2d shapes into 2 groups. We had to carefully consider how to sort them using mathematical vocabulary eg: curved or straight sides, triangles, squares, less than 3 sides. This involved some trial and improvement to ensure all the shapes fit into the criteria we had chosen!

Arsha - 'We need to change our group because it says squares but there are also rectangles! We could change it to shapes with 4 sides instead.'

Cairo - 'There are only triangles and circles in this group.'

Eva - 'We have put all the shapes with 4 or more sides in one group. There are hexagons, rectangles and pentagons.'

Bawdsey Day 2

Today has been another action-packed day here at Bawdsey, with the children up bright and early, full of energy and excitement for what lay ahead. After a hearty hot breakfast to fuel the morning, the first activities kicked off: canoeing and Survivor (a fantastic session of den building and outdoor skills). The children embraced the challenge, showing great teamwork and creativity as they constructed their shelters and took to the water with enthusiasm. Following a tasty lunch, the afternoon brought even more thrills with the giant swing — a definite favourite! There were plenty of cheers (and a few nervous giggles) as each child took their turn. We rounded off the day’s activities with a problem-solving session, where teamwork, communication, and thinking outside the box were the keys to success.
