Guest Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Hello I am a TA in a Reception class and will be teaching the children about shapes in the outdoor classroom next week. Has anyone got any fun ideas for this..the more wild and whacky the better. Just lots of fun whilst I also check out what they know and take them on further. Any ideas thankfully received.

Guest Wolfie Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I remember watching a DVD in the not too distant past where some children were on a Shape Detective Hunt outside - I'm sure it was a DVD connected with Foundation Stage practice but just cannot think which one it was...maybe someone else will remember for me! Anyway, the children all had clipboards, paper and pens/pencils and magnifying glasses (I think!) and hunted for one shape at a time, led by a practitioner. It did look like a real good activity and the children were clearly enjoying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
