MATHS

We are looking at shapes this week- Share the shapes are all around song

SHAPE SONG

Today we are going to look at a different shape – the triangle. Can you find different objects to make your own big and small triangles with? Maybe you could use twigs, pencils, paintbrushes, felt tips or a mixture of all of them. Grown-ups ask your child about the properties of a triangle as they are completing the task – how many sides/corners has it got?  Grown-ups – gather items of different shapes or make your own shapes from card and place them in a small bag. Ask your child to place their hand into the bag without looking and then try and guess what the shape is before they pull it out. Can they describe it to you as they feel it?  Then take the shape bag yourself and slowly pull each shape out of the bag one at a time. As you slowly reveal the shape, ask your child to try and identify the shape before it is fully revealed, explaining why they think it is that shape.

Make your own Stick man- go into the garden and find a stick that would be a good Stick man.

Does stick man float or sink in the story when the girls use him as a poo stick? Float or sink? Do sticks sink or float? What other natural materials can you test? (Bananas are an interesting one).

Investigate different objects that float or sink at home. Encourage your child to talk about what they observe and why they think it’s happening.

Ways of moving Re-read the story and encourage children to show how Stickman might move in different parts of the story?
