This week is going to focus on 2D and 3D shapes.Day 1: Shape huntActivity - click here. To look at some examples of 2D shapes and then go off to explore and take photos or draw the shapes you find - this could be a local walk (observe social distancing).Day 2: Describing 2D shapesActivity - click here. Use the powerpoint to begin to describe them, you could cut out shapes from card or paper to then do similar. After that, then your child can write about the shape on the cut out shapes such as its name, how many sides and corners - make sure you make the shapes big enough for this to be possible or it could be written on post-it notes and stuck on them. (Support as appropriate) Day 3: Describing 3D shapesActivity: click here. Use this or you may be able to find some of these 3D shapes around your house. Begin to link shapes to names and when more confident at names begin to describe using the correct language (contained in link). You could also use this to support.Day 4: Sorting and comparing shapesActivity - click here. You can use this or name some of your own sorting questions to compare 2D shapes, you could then do similar with 3D shapes.

Reception do not have a return to school date yet. At some point they will return, so you could use this to begin to discuss the way school might be different. Some of the activities they will still be able to do but others they won't be allowed to - you can also use this. When it is safe, children will be able to return and hopefully this can be a stepping stone to introduce how things will be different.
