Middle school have learned about 3D shapes this week. 
They begun by learning the properties of 3D shapes and some of their names. 
We learned that 3D shapes have edges, vertices and faces.

We then had a try at creating some shapes from a net.
The children enjoyed cutting out the shapes and creating 3D shapes from them. Some children even took on the challenge of an icosahedron- a twenty sided shape!
Once they had finished, children were able to create their own minecraft block from a net.
