Please continue to help your child learn their lines and we look forward with anticipation to seeing their costumes!! Maths this week has been about 3D shape.We have been learning to recognise and name common 3D shapes and to challenge the children, we have looked at the properties of the shapes named.The children have been asked to recognise 3D shapes in the environment and went on a shape walk to find objects of a certain shape.They then shared their findings with the other groups. ![](https://www.stakesbyschool.net/images/P1060455.JPG) ![](https://www.stakesbyschool.net/images/P1060454.JPG) The children have been continuing to work on Sum Dog and are now much more independent in practising their skills.Please continue to practise at home as these mental maths skills are essential to guarantee good progress in maths.Many thanks for your continued cooperation.
