It was especially difficult to think about what the difference is between a square and a rectangle as both have four sides and four corners. We realised, however, that the sides of a square are all the same in length. The children listened and watched Miss Keeling draw the shapes on the board before then having a go at drawing the shapes on their whiteboards. I was amazed by how well the children were able to draw each shape and their concentration was fantastic. We all found that a circle was the easiest shape to draw, but a hexagon was the hardest... Miss Keeling also struggled with this one!

We enjoyed getting out and about around the school grounds this week, both to play a Shape Sort game and to go on a Shape Hunt. During the shape sorting game, the children had to collect up the shapes hidden around the outdoor area and sort them into the correct pile! Mrs Nelson made it very tricky with some sneaky hiding places under pans and under tables!
