3D shapes and correct grammar!!

Greetings everyone!


We have been working hard on using the correct tense in sentences this week and identifying the properties of various 3D shapes. Here are two games which we really enjoy using to help our learning.

The first, is a wonderful treasure hunt grammar game:

The second, is a thrilling robot attack game where your knowledge of 3D shapes could save the
entire world!

Furthermore, here is a selection of wonderful writing and reading games which help with our literacy work.
My favorite is the Trapped game. What is yours?
