We made 'Playdough'


























  
                         Wellbeing/Meditation

This week learners were very independent during our meditation time. 


Mathematics

This week in Math, we have been really busy with our differentiated groups.

  • Counting to 10 in order
  • Counting objects that cannot be moved
  • Recite numbers to 10 in an irregular order



































Unit of Inquiry

This week in UOI, we focused mainly on our communication and social skills. During our circle time, we discussed what is being a good friend and revised our essential agreements to ensure we know what they mean to us when we play or work together.

       Communication and Language/Phonics

We are beginning to understand what alliteration is. We worked in groups and focused on the initial sounds.

Please use these learning activities to support your child with number recognition 

Carefully, count 5 building bricks from a larger set. Use the 5 bricks to build a tower. Can you use the 5 bricks to build a different model?


Polly Parrot likes eating fruit and vegetables, and tries hard to eat 5
pieces each day. Yesterday, Polly
ate an apple, an orange, a banana,
a carrot and tomato. How many things did Polly eat? Did she manage to eat 5? Try drawing a picture to help you.

Whole class

Numbers to 5 Scavenger Hunt

Can you run and find this number of objects, such as ‘Find 5 pink things’ or ‘Find 3 green leaves’? • How many did you find? • Can you check by counting? • Can you arrange your objects in a different way? Is there still the same number? -  Work in groups 


Small groups

- Recite numbers to 10

- Count in an irregular order to 10

- Count objects that cannot be moved.


After half term break, we will then look each number a week.  Focusing on just one number for a week or two is a great way to encourage children to deepen their understanding of numbers and develop 'number sense'. ... It can help children to develop confidence and deepen their mathematical understanding of numbers.
