Lesson 3 This week we are looking at sorting with 1 criteria! Equipment for this lesson: scissors, glue, different coloured objects you have such as Lego, toy cars, colouring pens, pencils or even smarties or starburst! Today we will be sorting by colour.

Talk Activity Talk with someone in your home about colours! How many colours can you name? What’s your favourite colour? Active Activity You are going to sort your different coloured objects. If you don’t have any objects you could draw some circles and colour them in and cut them out or use the pictures for the worksheet below. Choose a colour, lets say red, then sort your objects into red and not red. Then change the colour, blue and not blue, yellow and not yellow… you can choose any colour! Example below.

Worksheet If you can print then cut out the pictures and sort them into the correct colours or you can do it as before, red and not red. If you can’t print you could have a go a drawing your own things and colouring them in!
