Primary 1 made glasses today for autism awareness week. We also watched a short video explaining about autism. Here they are looking fantastic in their glasses.

Well done to Oliver, our latest pupil of the week. He has been engaged and motivated in his classroom tasks this week.

Also well done to Levi, our playground star for this week.

CLIC Targets for P1 Term 3 Week 11

C – counting

For counting we are going to practise our number recognition and number formation. Use a number square or number line to point to a number and say it’s name. Can you write down any numbers you are asked? Use a whiteboard or paper to practise your number formation.

L – learn its

Learn its are number facts which we try to remember and quickly recall without working out the answer. We now have to remember the doubles to 5 –

1+1=2  2+2=4  3+3=6  4+4=8  5+5=10

You can also practise these at home. These facts are done orally and not written down at this stage.

I – It’s Nothing New

These are facts like our learn its but instead of asking What is one add one? we say What is double one?

Can you double 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5?

C – Calculations

This week we will focus on subtraction.

Can you take away and find out how many are left?

Use objects you have at home and make a group to take away from. Try using different amounts to start with and take away different amounts.

If you can manage using materials, try some mental subtraction, working out the answers in your head.

Here are some links to games which will help with this week’s targets.

Can you double 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5?

C – Calculations

This week we will focus on adding again.

Can you count two groups of objects altogether to find the total?

Use objects you have at home and form 2 groups to add together with different amounts. You could even try 3 groups of objects to add together.

Or practise your mental maths skills by adding in your head.

Some videos you may want to use.

And some games links.

C – Calculations

This week we will focus on division.

Can you share out sweets fairly?

Use objects you have at home such as sweets, pencils, coins, lego blocks etc. and share them out to people or toys equally. Remember to give one at a time and in an order so you don’t miss anyone out. Try sharing between different numbers of people/toys such as 2, 3, 4 or 5. How many does each get? It should be the same number for each.

Here are some links to help with counting and calculations.
