Looking at 3D shapes and more...

In maths, reception children have been busy exploring the names and properties of 3D shapes as well as using non standard units of measure to see the height and length of objects and even themselves.
In school, we have been exploring 3D shape. Here you can see really how mushc they enjoyed hunting for them in our I-Spy activity!

To link with our Learning Quest, we have been learning about different habitats and last week explored a pond habitat. We explored and discovered the different types of animals and creatures that are found in and near a pond.
