We have been learning all about shapes in Junior Infants. We have learned all about the circle, the square and our new shape is the triangle.
We gave each shape a special character. We learned poems about the shape characters to help us to recognise the attributes of the different shapes, and to draw the shapes.
We drew circles, squares and triangles, coloured them in and cut them out. We are getting better using our scissors. We have used different tools to practice making shapes. We have used straws, pipe cleaners, lolly pop sticks and paper strips.We also use our big whiteboard to practice drawing shapes and we have been using playdoh to make shapes.
We made pictures using circles, squares and triangles. We made shape monsters, shape men, spooky ghosts and witches using all our shapes.
We also went out around the school on a circle hunt. We were surprised at how many circles we found around the school. There are circles everywhere.
Have a look around your house to see what shapes you can see.
