Poem Bubbles Out in the garden When school was done I blew bubbles In the sun. I blew a bubble Huge as could be! It hung in the air For all to see. Into my bubble I looked and found A shining land That was rainbow round. It looked like a world Meant for no one but fairies. They’d keep little farms there With cows, chicks and dairies. Woods where pixies Could picnic for pleasure, And hide near the rainbows Their crocks of strange treasure. And then came a bee All furry and fat. Before I could think What he would be at My beautiful bubble He brushed with his wing And all that was left Was a little damp ring.

Me and my identical twin brother, Righto, are a pair of long red socks. I think most people would call us a pair of football socks. Well, the most dreadful thing happened to us…Righto has got lost… Song: The Wheels on the Bus words and sheet music available in Teacher’s Resources section of web site After the programme • Look for circles in the classroom. • Ask the children to list six round or circle shaped objects they fi nd at home. • Go for a walk and fi nd some circles (road signs, wheels, round windows). • You could also list squares (windows, paving stones, manhole covers); rectangles (doors, gates, window, bricks, lorries); triangles (road signs, roofs). • Think about ‘round’ food – biscuits, cakes, buns, burgers, a lot of fruit and vegetables. Why do we normally have round plates? (Demonstrate how things ‘fall off’ a square shape more easily). • Discuss the idiom ‘going round in circles’. • Discuss why some objects are usually round i.e. buttons, money. Would they be more diffi cult to use if they were square – or triangular? • Design a pizza. Cut out a round pizza shape in paper and divide it exactly in four. Ask the children to draw on one quarter their favourite pizza fi lling. Now copy the design exactly on the other three slices. • Do some cutting and folding exercises with paper to make circles, squares, rectangles and triangles. • Look at the poem ‘Bubbles’ and blow some bubbles in the classroom and talk about refl ections. • Add the number 0 to fi gures and discuss what happens.

Poem Shapes Draw a circle hand in hand. Draw a square with a stick in the sand. Watch how three acrobats can dangle From their trapeze in a triangle. Then, when its bedtime, jiggle, And giggle, And wiggle, And wiggle Out of your tracksuits to make it fall On the fl oor in a squiggle. ‘Cause a squiggle’s the nicest shape of all. Leo Aylen Story What is Tiddles the cat to do when the postman brings a square parcel for Sophie’s birthday? The family are away and the postman leaves it stuck behind the plant pot by the door, just where those troublesome twins next door might fi nd it…… After the programme words for discussion:- acrobat; trapeze; to ‘doodle’; a ‘squiggle shape’; tartan; “you’ll get square eyes if you watch too much TV.” • Go for a walk and list ‘square’ shapes found (windows, paving stones, manhole covers; and rectangles (doors, gates, windows, bricks, lorries) • Look for square and rectangle shapes around the classroom, and at home. • If appropriate to your class, introduce some pattern words in addition to circle, rectangle, square such as triangle, hexagon, spiral, coil, twist, curl. • Look for patterns and how squares and rectangles in particular fi t together - tiles on the fl oor or walls, wallpaper, material (tartan) and other fabrics. • Talk about games which use squares and rectangles e.g. draught and chess boards, snakes and ladders, hopscotch.
