Book reviews

We were writing our own book reviews this week.  This was new for us and we found it a little bit tricky!

These are the things we had to think about when writing this:

• the author - who wrote the book?
• the characters - who were the people in the story?  Did we like them?  How did they make us feel?
• the plot - what happens in the story? 
• our opinion - did we like the book?  What was our favourite part of the story and why?  Were there any funny or scary bits?  Did we learn anything?
• recommendation - do we think someone else would like to read the book?  Why do we think this?

Are there any books that you have read that you especially like?  If you have read any books you would like to recommend, please leave us a message!

3D shape investigations

We have been investigating 3D shapes this week.  We have been learning more about cubes, cuboids, cylinders, spheres, prisms and pyramids.  We have been learning about the edges, faces and corners of these shapes, and were able to use what we had learned to build our own 3D shapes.

                                      

It was tricky to get our shapes exactly right but we managed it!  Now we know much more about 3D shapes.
