Using a variety of hands-on resources, the children enjoyed moulding different 3D shapes with play dough, including spheres, cubes, cones and cylinders. They had lots of fun experimenting with the different shapes and discovering their features. Pupils also thoroughly enjoyed building 3D creations using their choice of building blocks, Duplo or magnetic shapes. The pupils let their imaginations run wild, designing everything from robots and imaginative models to even recreating our very own classroom! It was fantastic to see such creativity, teamwork and problem-solving skills in action. Learning maths through play has never been so much fun! 🌟 [maths](https://www.park.blackpool.sch.uk/blog/tag/maths) [ Bang the drum!](https://www.park.blackpool.sch.uk/blog/2026-11-11-14-31-bang-the-drum) [D of E ](https://www.park.blackpool.sch.uk/blog/2026-11-11-14-52-d-of-e) ![Park Community Academy](https://files.schudio.com/parkschool-3/images/logo/Untitled_design_(9)_(1).png) #### Park Community Academy Mrs J Aaron (Academy Business Lead) 158 Whitegate Drive Blackpool Lancashire FY3 9HF 01253 764130 #### Useful Links: - [Vacancies](https://www.park.blackpool.sch.uk/vacancies1) - [Blackpool Education Partnership](https://www.blackpoolteachingschoolalliance.org.uk/) - [Independent Travel Training](https://www.park.blackpool.sch.uk/independent-travel-training) - [Embrace Teaching School Hub](https://www.torview.org/educational-excellence/teaching-school-hub) #### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/ParkCommunityAcademy) - [X](https://twitter.com/PCABlackpool) © Copyright 2025–2026 Park Community Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.park.blackpool.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
