This week we are going to continue learning about shapes. Today we are going to sort 2D shapes into groups.

First watch this short video to help you remember the names of the shapes.

Now play this shape sorting game by clicking on the link. Feed the monsters the correct shape food.

Next use the shapes below to cut out and sort into the correct shape groups. You can colour them in too.

Sort them into groups like this.

Today we have introduced the new Reception teachers to the children and the new Reception classrooms. I hope you all enjoyed the stories from Mrs Lee, Mrs Mason and Miss Watts.

Story time with our new teachers

It was so fantastic for the children to have the opportunity to hear a story from their new teacher in September. Great listening Nursery!

This is me

The children have been drawing a picture of themselves and writing their names today to show their new teacher their brilliant writing skills.

Arranging shapes

For the maths activity today the children were enjoying making arrangements with the shapes. They all used their imagination , well done!

Busy Bees

Another lovely week of learning today, whether this was in school or at home! You are all superstars.

See you on Monday, have a nice weekend.

We have welcomed more children back to Nursery in the afternoons this week. Our activities have been based upon the story, ‘Oi Frog!’. The children have also been listening to stories read by their new Reception teachers and looking at photographs of their new classrooms online.

Fun Indoors

We mixed our own green paint to create pictures of frogs. There was jelly in the water tray for frogs to jump into and the children counted the frogs. We had jumping races with the frogs in the Funky Fingers tray. In the maths area we played a game, reading the number on the dice and counting out the correct number of frogs from a larger group. There was also a matching game, counting the frogs and reading the numbers to find the correct pairs.

Fun Outdoors

The children visited the school pond to look for tadpoles and frogs and then jumped like frogs in our outdoor area. They tried to see how far they could jump.

We hope you all enjoyed your nursery session this week. We loved spending time with you all.

Today we are going to be focusing on shapes, we are going to be making arrangements with the shapes.

You can make different types of things with the shapes, for example you could make a rocket, a dinosaur, a monster or a robot. You can even use your own imagination and think of something different.

Here are the shapes that we would like you to use. You can copy these onto an A4 piece of paper. Then you can cut the shapes out to make the different arrangements with them.

What can you make with the shapes?

I have made a ….

Can you make something else with the shapes?

This time I have made a …

Once you have made your arrangements you can then colour them in and talk about what shapes you have used for each arrangement.

Enjoy this activity boys and girls.
