We are looking at 2D shapes and thinking about how we can sort them. We could sort them by:

colour
Have a go at the questions below and see if you can work out how the shapes have been sorted.

Writing
The Natives have sent us some instructions on how to stop the Whomping Willow trees attacking us. The only problem is they haven't told us how to do each instruction and we don't want to get hurt. Can you have a go at adding in the missing adverbs to each instruction to make it clear?

Christopher Columbus was given parrots by the Natives when he was travelling. See if you can create your own parrot. You could use coloured paper (or plain and colour it in), empty packets and boxes or whatever you can find lying around at home (ask someone first!).
Cut and stick or build your own parrot like the ones below. See if you can make yours so that the wings can move!
