Notes

In short

Today we spotted five shapes! Faces, edges and corners! And what rolls and what slides! Look, children are playing instruments on the stage! And below, the Garba dance! This drum is round on top, round at the bottom, and straight in the middle! This shape is called a cylinder! This tin can is a cylinder too! And the tabla is a bit like a cylinder too! This matka is round and fat! A shape that is round all over is called a sphere! A football, a sphere! A colourful ball, a sphere! This box drum looks the same from every side! This is called a cube! A ludo dice, a cube! Six sides, each with dots! This harmonium is a long box! The shape of a long box is a cuboid! This chest is a cuboid! A matchbox is a cuboid too! And does a ball have corners? No! A sphere is round all over, no face, no edge, no corner!
