As all the excitement of Christmas goes on around us, the Pioneers enjoyed the calm of exploring a variety of tools and materials with the conversation focussed on shape. We made comparisons while we were building and sorting. We noticed the length of sides and used phrases like “stretched out” with lots of hand gestures too.
The Pioneers used paper squares and noticed what happened when they folded and folded again. It to a bit of teamwork to get corners matched up! We also made shapes with matchsticks, making a variety of squares and rectangles that turned out to be doors and houses-lots of great chat and listening.
