As we have been learning about shape and pattern recently, the children have been keen to form shapes with the materials available outdoors. They have talked together a lot to work out how to make their shapes and some have taken it to a different area of the curriculum by forming some letters. One little boy even managed to make his whole name from twigs and rope. As you can imagine, making a circle was the trickiest shape but the children showed themselves to be good problem solvers and came up with great ideas.
