Jake made a guy with a circle, a rectangle, a square for the body and 4 rectangles.
Archie used a circle for the head, a triangle for his body and had 4 legs on his elephant.
Max made a dog using a rectangle, triangles for ears and 4 legs.
Lacy made a house which had a triangle roof, She said, “It has 3 sides. A square for the house, oval for the door, 2 circles for the windows.”
MTH 0-16a The children are displaying good knowledge about 2D shape and their properties.
Afternoon Nursery visit the Post Office.
The afternoon class had very special letters to post. They were inviting guests to a tea party in the nursery. Cayla said,” 1,2,3,4,5,6 people walked to the Post Office. We wore shiny jackets so people know we are a nursery group.”
Max said, ” We saw mole hills.” Jake and Cayla found the Post Office sign in the village.
Jake said, ” we posted some letters, I put a stamp on the letter, 63p for the stamp.” Jessica received her change and receipt from the lady.
Lacy said, “I was looking at other things to buy in the Post Office, they sell newspapers and comics.” Jake said, “the letter came the next day.”
We hope all our guests come to the tea party.
