Shapes for Prep D from Charlie

The Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci
Today we went to Vinci (in Tuscany) which is where Leonardo da Vinci was born (da Vinci meaning from Vinci). He was a famous painter (he painted the Mona Lisa), scientist and inventor. We went to a museum which had a lot of models of machines he had designed, for example, a diving suit, the bicycle, tanks and a crane. He also did lots of work on 3D shapes.

I am loving all the yummy food in Italy, especially pizza and gelati! I'm missing all my friends in Prep D, it sounds like you're having a lot of fun at school!

Love Charlie

I love pizza!!!!  (and gelati)

What shape is this?

The main tower on the castle is a rectangular prism.
