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!
