Today we are going to be focusing on carefully counting the sides of
2D shapes. Children should be encouraged to develop strategies for
accurate counting of sides, such as marking each side as it has been
counted. Children also need to understand that not all same-sided
shapes look the same, such as irregular 2-D shapes.
Mathematical talk
Here are some questions you can ask to support learning;
What is a side? How can you check that you have counted all the
sides? Do all four-sided shapes look the same? Why do you think the
shapes have the names that they do?
Counting sides on 2D shapes

Your team has just sighted and filmed incredible images of a blue whale!! It’s your job to tell everyone who is watching about a blue whale. Use the facts you have learnt this week and include your own fun facts too! We would love to see you performing your nature report! You will only need to speak for about 1 minute. Write a script writing what you will say before you act out being the nature reporter! Your film to speak over: Film Blue Whale David Attenborough example of whale report: David Attenborough report Need more whale facts? National Geo for Kids - Blue Whale Did you watch the landing of Perseverance? Here’s a great chance to watch it again with some great footage of the planet Mars and a heart-warming celebration from the NASA team. NASA For our science lesson today, we are going to be linking the exciting news of Perseverance landing on Mars to our Habitats topic! You will be thinking about creating a shelter on Mars for humans to live in. You can present your work in any way you wish; a drawing, junk modelling, drawing via computer software etc be as creative as you wish! You will need to think back to our previous science lessons about living things and what they need to survive so that you can provide all the things that humans need for example, water, food, shelter, oxygen etc. As well as containing all of the living space that people will need, the building will need a place for the machinery that is needed to extract water from the surface of Mars and also to create oxygen using some of the water. There will also need to be a place to grow plants and raise animals. Have fun!
