  All nurseries and reception classes teach the important concept of shapes to young children. This book provides the material needed to plan and carry out a complete shapes theme. It contains cross-curricular activities looking at three-dimensional shapes, circles and spirals, rectangles and triangles, symmetry and reflection, patterns and shapes in nature. Eight linking photocopiable sheets provide reinforcement activities and there is a chapter of ideas for display. It also includes photocopiable stories, poems, songs and assembly ideas all based on the theme. A topic web for planning, links the activities to both the National Curriculum and the Scottish 5-14 Guidelines.
