The Junior School has made a fantastic start to Term 3. The classrooms are full of energy, curiosity, and share a love for learning as our learners dive into new topics and hands-on experiences.
In Mathematics, our focus has been on learning about 2D and 3D shapes through geometry. The children have been exploring the features of different shapes – such as sides, corners, faces and edges, and learning the names of both flat and solid shapes.
Learning about geometry is important because a strong understanding of shapes helps children to make sense of the world around them. Shapes are everywhere in our daily lives – from road signs, to buildings, art and nature. Recognising and describing shapes helps to develop early spatial awareness, visual thinking, problem-solving skills and understanding symmetry.
