Introduction: Get ready to become shape shifters as we explore the fascinating world of 2D shapes!

Materials: Paper, pencils, ruler, scissors, coloured paper (optional).

Activities:

Shape Hunt: Go on a shape hunt around your house or outside. How many different 2D shapes can you find? (circles, squares, triangles, rectangles, pentagons, hexagons, etc.) Draw or take pictures of the shapes you find. 🔍
Shape Sorting: Cut out different shapes from coloured paper or draw them on paper. Can you sort them into groups based on their properties? (number of sides, right angles, etc.) ✂️
Shape Creations: Use your shapes to create pictures or designs. You can make animals, houses, or even abstract art! Let your imagination run wild. 🎨
Shape Riddles: Create riddles about different shapes. For example: "I have three sides and three angles. What am I?" (A triangle!) 🤔

Helpful Tip: Remember the names of different shapes and their properties. This will help you understand geometry better.

Introduction: Today, we're going to dip our toes into the beautiful world of French!

Materials: Paper, pencils, a computer or tablet (optional).

Activities:

Greetings: Learn some basic French greetings. "Bonjour" (hello), "Au revoir" (goodbye), "Merci" (thank you), "S'il vous plaît" (please). Practice saying them out loud! 👋
Numbers 1-10: Learn how to count from 1 to 10 in French. "Un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept, huit, neuf, dix." Try counting objects around you in French. 🔢
Basic Phrases: Learn some simple phrases like "Comment allez-vous?" (How are you?), "Je m'appelle..." (My name is...), and "J'aime..." (I like...). 🗣️
French Songs: Listen to some French children's songs online. This is a fun way to learn new vocabulary and improve your pronunciation. 🎶
French Food: Research some popular French foods. "Croissant," "baguette," "fromage." Maybe you can even try making a French dish with your family! 🥐🥖🧀

Helpful Tip: Learning a new language is a great way to expand your horizons and learn about different cultures.
