Encouraging social interaction and language development as they vocalise with friends what they are doing Our Sorting Activities for EYFS can be used to help children to achieve a large range of EYFS learning outcomes such as-

Sorting games and activities involve a child to identify the number of items that have similarity between them. This helps children develop the skill to identify common properties that form a group or class of items. Some examples of ways you can do sorting include: By 6, children will begin to learn that shapes can be cut and placed together to create new shapes.

Step 11: Sort 3D Shapes Homework Extension Year 2 Spring Block 3

Greater Depth Circle the shape that cannot be sorted into the Venn diagram. Supports sorting 3D shapes, with reference to the number of faces, edges and vertices. All shapes presented in different orientations and sizes. No perspective lines visible on shapes, with the use of real-life objects. The beauty of this blank template is just that - it's blank, so it can be adapted to any lesson or learning objective you like. You could use it to: Literacy: Our sorting resources cover a large range of literacy links including phonics, rhyming words and letters. Another way to extend the play is to take the baskets and ask the children to go on a phonics hunt around the home themselves, finding appropriate objects to fill each one. She recognised all of the graphemes and we will now take a next step of choosing more unfamiliar ones to practise. After this it will make sense to move onto some digraphs such as “ch”, “sh” and “th” and I will be setting up this game for her big sister Cakie soon.

Give children 4 sorting hoops and ask them to label them rough and smooth and dull and shiny. Children find objects from around the classroom to put into each hoop. Expected Use the sorting hoops to complete the statements. Supports sorting 3D shapes, with reference to the number of faces, edges and vertices. All shapes presented in different orientations and sizes. Perspective lines visible on some shapes. Watch the video without stopping or pausing. Then, ask the children to explain what happened in the video. Begin to draw out key vocabulary or possible misconceptions. Second viewing: Pause point Pop has been enjoying learning all her letter sounds (phonemes) and their corresponding names and shapes (graphemes) with all of our playful alphabet activities. I made her a phonics activity that I used to play with my Reception/ Kindergarten classes when I was teaching, using baskets and everyday objects to sort into them, according their phonemes. Developing Identify 2 shapes that would go in the empty group. Supports sorting 3D shapes, with reference to the number or faces, edges and vertices. All shapes are presented in the same orientation and size. Perspective lines visible on all shapes.Themed sorting activities - use themes that resonate with your child’s interests. Some ideas include space-themed, Easter-themed, Christmas e.t.c
