3D Shape Construction

This week in maths Room 13 has been learning about 3d shapes. We have been experimenting with constructing a variety of complicated 3d shapes including; rhombic pyramids, dodecahedrons and truncated octahedrons (what a mouthful!!)

After we constructed each shape we discussed the number of vertices, edges and faces each shape had.

You might like to have a go a making a 3d shape yourself! Check out this website for downloadable net templates. A great rainy day task!!!

Wow! What a week! Even more successes were achieved this week in Room 13.

Firstly, Matthew and Maya continued their Cross Country success on Tuesday by both coming first in their events in the Interzone Cross Country. They are now focused on the Regionals this coming Tuesday at Kaitoke - Go M & M!!!

Secondly, Billy, Margarita and Matthew did an amazing job of representing our class at the Year 5/6 Speech Semi-finals on Wednesday. After much deliberation by the judges, Billy and Matthew have been selected to continue on to the Finals this coming Tuesday. (Matthew sure does have a busy day planned!!) Best of luck Billy and Matthew and well done to everyone who participated in the semis - the quality of speeches this year is outstanding!!
