Good morning Room 3, I hope you all had a great weekend!

Todays challenge is a shape hunt...

Today I want you to go around your house, either inside or outside or both and see if you can find me....

- 2 small square shape things and 1 big square shape thing. - 3 things that are a circle shape. - something that is an oval shape. - 1 small thing that is a rectangle shape and 1 big thing that is a rectangle shape. - something that is a diamond shape. - something that is a cylinder shape. - something that is a triangle shape. See how you go and when you have found as many as you can, see what you can create with all the different shapes that you have found, maybe you could also draw the different shapes. Are there any other shapes around your home that are different, maybe you might find a hexagon...! Don't forget to take a photo when you have finished or you could draw what you have made from all the shapes.

Have fun!

Here are some pictures of all the fantastic work Room 3 has been doing!

We have been on bug hunts, practicing our writing, creating with things that we have found around home, making our beautiful petals and flowers for our special friendship flower, learning about numbers and shapes and having fun!

Good morning Room 3, lots of great work yesterday with the special inventor scavenger hunt! Well done everyone, it was great seeing all your amazing creations.

Todays challenge is science, making a boat.

Today I want you to make a boat and see if it can float on the water.

Firstly draw what kind of boat you want, what shape will it be? will it be a big boat or a small boat? What do you think you can make your boat out off? -tin foil -plastic -bark/sticks Have a think of things that will float on the water, maybe try some things and see what happens, does it float or sink? When you have finished designing and building your boat then test it out on the water, remember to get an adult to help. If your boat sinks, can you fix it and make it better? Can you put some things in your boat? What happens if you put too many things into your boat? Remember to draw your boat first and show me your picture and then when you have finished making it. Have fun!

Morena Room 3, I hope you all had a good weekend.
