Talking Time:

Can you remember the four life cycles of a chicken?

What comes first? Egg or Chicken?

What are the baby chickens called?

Can you complete the worksheet on the chicken life cycle?

Can you count how many eggs you got?                  Sing Guess the egg

We will read Three Little Firefighters by Stuart J Murphy.

What do you see on each page? Can you see the different shapes? What is a circle? What is a triangle?

We will play a game to sort the shapes and to find out what each shape looks like.

Join in and sing about shapes.

We will look at some pictures. Which shapes can you see?

The children will make some of their own shape pictures by painting with stampers and using cut out shapes.
