Learning More About Shapes

We have been learning about making and recognising basic shapes in Pre-Reception. The students had the opportunity to create and explore with shapes to learn what shapes look like and how to make them

We went on a shape treasure hunt in our playground. The students had to match their given shape with the shapes of the hopscotch and other games on the playground.

In the classroom we used Lego blocks, beads, play dough and match sticks to make different shapes. We also practised drawing shapes and cutting them out. We made even a square man during arts and craft time.

The students will continue to observe shapes in every activity they do and every book they read. Shapes are everywhere and fun to explore throughout the year.
