-Mental Maths: (Continue with the following weeks activities Monday to Friday review, including problem solving section)
-Shapes: Can you remember the names of the 3-d shapes that we have learned about in school this year? They are
Can your remember what these shapes look like? If not, you can check at the back of your Mental Maths or you can follow this link https://www.theschoolrun.com/what-are-the-names-of-2d-and-3d-shapes (scroll down to the bottom of the page).
-Shapes Task: Find as many 3-d shapes in your bedroom as you can. Once you have found them all and have placed them on the ground, put the same shapes together (spheres with spheres, cubes with cubes, etc.). Investigate: Which shapes can stack on top of each other? What shapes can roll? Next, on a piece of paper, write down the name of each shape. Beside the shape, you need to write down these facts:
-Make your own paper cube! – Follow this link to help you make your own paper cube https://youtu.be/-0bbAfOuh-M. Remember, all the sides of your cube need to be the same length so use a ruler for measuring them out. If you don’t have a ruler, you can use the side of a book to draw the lines, making sure to start and finish at the same point of the book. Also, the video says you need glue. If you don’t have glue, some tape will work perfectly too!
-Shapes Picture : Draw a picture using just shapes. This time, you will use 2-d shapes (square, rectangle, circle, triangle, oval) to draw the picture. For example, you could use a circle for the sun, or you could use a triangle for the top of a tree. Let your imagination run free!
Quiz time – Identify the 3-shapes based on the clues below:

-Poetry/ Dánta:
Éadaí
Féach ar mo stocaí,
Féach ar mo bhróga,
Féach ar mo hata,
Agus féach ar mo chóta.
Ach cá bhfuil mo bhríste,
Mo veist agus mo léine?
Ní féidir liom dul ar scoil
Gan éadaí, gan éadaí.
