We are going to make Christmas cards for our family. What shape would you like to choose? A star, square, circle or triangle? We will turn our squares into presents, our stars into twinkling stars, our triangles into trees and our circles into baubles!

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…..

Have you seen what’s new in our classroom? It’s a tree!

What special festival is celebrated with a tree like this?

I wonder what we can find today. Somebody left us a present, shall we open it and find out what is inside? Wow, we have some tree decorations! Let's hang them onto our tree. Can we name the tree decorations shapes; star, circle, triangle and square.

Now we can play this fun shape-sorting game:

Why don’t we have a look at what is hiding behind our colour squares...what decoration can you see?
