3D shapes!

We are learning about 3D shapes and the relationship that they have between the 2D shapes that make them up.

The boys have been discussing the use of 3D shapes in the environment and should now be able to describe, compare and name 3D shapes.

The 3D shapes that they know include the cube, cuboid, cylinder, sphere and cone.

Here are some games that they might like to use to reinforce what they're learning in school.
