Learning goals
- We are learning to make, compare and classify shapes and objects using obvious features.
- We are learning to describe the features of two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional objects.
- 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.
