3D shapes in P2/3

21st Apr 2026
We had lots of fun making 3D shapes in class! P2 worked on building cubes and cuboids, while P3 explored more challenging shapes like square-based and triangular-based pyramids. We used cocktail sticks for the edges and Playdoh for the corners, which helped the children see how each shape is put together. It was a great hands-on activity that brought our learning to life—and there was plenty of creativity and teamwork too!
