Little Lyndhurst School

Little Lyndhurst have been enjoying the topic of sorting. They have been looking at what rule should be used in a sorting activity, whether it should be sorted by size or colour. 📏🎨 The children in Little Lyndhurst independently sorted the little bears dependent on their size. 🧸📏 The children really enjoyed lining them all up in their correct size order. 🧸👏
