Learning goals
- We are learning to sort, name, make and describe familiar shapes using obvious features.
- We are learning to sort, describe and name 2D shapes and 3D objects based on common features.
- We are learning to recognise, compare and classify shapes and objects using obvious features and spatial terms, e.g. opposite, parallel, curved, straight.
- We are learning to use features to describe and draw two-dimensional shapes.
