We also had great fun investigating 3-D shapes and their properties. The children took it in turns to wear the blindfold and pick a shape from the 'feely-bag'. They had to guess which shape had been chosen based on its properties and describe the shape to their peers. The children displayed great knowledge of 3-D shapes and had lots of fun too!
