Spelling Battleships: Fancy a game? Literacy
Want to try something new to help with learning your spelling words.
This game can be played with any collection of words, players can use different words or words from the same list.
Just like battleships you are trying to sink words not ships. The instructions are on the pdf provided. If you do not have a printer do not worry, you can easily make up two grids with a pencil and ruler.
I played the game with someone and we chose words from the Spicy Column. I can’t wait to hear how you get on.

Numeracy: Spicy: Tangrams, Make your own!
Hello everyone, I hope you all enjoyed the story of Tangrams. If you haven’t already watched it you can follow the link of the grid.
Follow my sway to create your own Tangram set. You don’t need to print off a cut out sheet as you can easily fold an A4 page correctly and get all the shapes you need.
Enjoy. Mr.Mutch

Numeracy Grid 1: Mild- Find odd number around the house

Well-Being Wednesday w/ Mr Mutch #1
My P2s know that Wednesdays are special, they even have a special name. We call them Well-Being Wednesdays, at school we try to cover our Health and Well-Being topics on that day. So, I was thinking how do I do that for the blog.
Taking inspiration from all the lovely colouring I’ve seen, I’ve had some time to myself and coloured in my own Johanna Basford colouring page. It was very detailed and my pencils were not small enough, although it was difficult it was really relaxing.
Because this is all quite new to us all, I want to record what I am doing in many ways just like you are doing in your journals and on sway.
I’ve decided to cover my journal with a blank sheet of paper and for each day I’m going to put a small doodle or picture to mark something that happened that day. I can’t wait to see how it looks in a few weeks time. It could be my own personal where’s wally.
My first few drawings are; 1 – Day one it all started 2 – My Thumper story and 3 – Today I made some yoghurt bark.
If you want to join in, it would be great to see pictures of them in the coming weeks and if you start now you can easily catch up, its only been three days.
Happy Doodling on this Well-Being Wednesday.

Numeracy Grid 1 – Resources for Parents – Mild challenges
In school numeracy is often taught using practical materials, in particular numicon and ten frames.
Ten frames
A ten frame is a rectangle split into 2 rows and 5 columns.
It is used to show numbers that are less than or equal to 10.
Placing objects on the frames helps children to visualise different ways to represent numbers.
You could download and print the ten frame sheet below from Twinkl
twinkl-blank-ten-frame-activity-sheet-landscape-1-per-page
or
make your own.
An empty egg box can be a great 10 frame.
It is a great way to help children organise amounts to count.
Numicon
The links below open free resources from the numicon website that I find helpful, although I do recognise that you might not have access to a printer.
Numicon_pcms_Shapes,_Numerals_and_Number_Words_1-10_(Actual_Size)
Numicon_pcms_shape_numeral_word_cards_1_to_31
Numicon_pcms_Adding_Facts_to_10
Numicon_pcms_Adding_Facts_to_20
How to make your own numicon – a bit fiddly but a great measuring activity for older children.
