Making Shapes with Playdough

Room 5 had fun making shapes with playdough today!

 

 

Shape lesson on the Court

 

Shape/Geometry
This lesson we went outside and had to find shapes on the court (that I had pre-drawn). We then each had our own piece of chalk and had to practice drawing shapes.
What a fun lesson!

Generating Ideas

 In one of our writing sessions I wanted the children to extend a basic sentence "this is a cat". I wanted them to use more descriptive language, I knew that I would need to generate a discussion to give them ideas so we had a whole class discussion. I encouraged them to think of their own cat if they had one, This really helped them to make connections.
I then took a photo of our chat and put it on the screen the next day to remind them what we'd discussed so they could write their own sentence.
