Amongst our many other learning activities this term Upper Kindergarten children have been learning about 2D shapes and their properties.  We have been looking at circles, triangles, squares, rectangles, semi-circles and octagons and discovering their similarities and differences.

The children have been differentiating between shapes with straight sides and curved sides, shapes with 4 corners, shapes with 4 sides, shapes with all sides the same and shapes with 2 opposite sides the same.    Last week, equipped with their new found knowledge and a clipboard and pencil, they went on a shape hunt in our outside environment.

They raced around squealing with joy and delight when they discovered so many shapes - which they then had to note down on their tally charts.  Such a competitive spirit to see who had the most tally marks!  

Well done, Kindies!
