The children started their new maths topic on fractions this week by looking at what is equal and what is unequal. Next week we will move onto fractions of shapes, numbers and amounts.

The children have been exploring 3D shapes and their properties. They have been looking at which 2D shapes are on the surface of 3D shapes. The children constructed 3D shapes from nets to help them.

The children are having lots of fun this week exploring 3D shapes. They knew some of the shape names from their previous learning in Year 1 but now they are moving onto the properties of these shapes. As well as naming them, the children will be describing these shapes using the terms vertices, edges and faces.

There were some mixed reactions today when the children tasted their homemade vegetable soup! Everyone tried it and most of the children enjoyed it. Some children had extra. The children know that it is important to eat a well balanced diet and now they can tell you how to make vegetable soup.
