Shape play
Had a lot of fun with the Primary 1’s this morning as they explored the shape materials. We discussed the names of the shapes and one wee boy suggested that the quarter circle should be called a curved triangle…brill. The children didn’t know what a hexagon was and a suggested name was a cornered circle! What fabulous ideas and I think I prefer their suggestions.
I found a set of shape stampers and an ink pad, which proved incredibly popular, as were the Clever Sticks. The children also had the option of using the shapes area of the ActivPrimary software but are disappointed that the PC version doesn’t have the ‘hoover”, to sook away their mistakes. I have managed to get the Smart board in the P1 classroom working at last so they have been trying it out with their class teacher ( woohoo).
