Mild Numeracy – What’s the Time Mr Wolf?
Tick Tock! Look at the Clock!
If you have made a timetable you might need to set an alarm to remind you to do something.
I have an alarm set for 11am to remind me to photograph the sky and an alarm set for the time I should be going to bed!
Throughout the day look at your clock on the hour and half past the hour, maybe you could set an alarm in your phone. What are you doing at those times?
Make your own clock
to do this you need to be able to
- write the numbers 1 to 12 on stones, shells, pieces of slate.
- order numbers to 12 in a clockwise direction
- find a short stick and a long stick
- colour the tip of the short stick, the hour hand
CHALLENGE – To add more information to your clock
- Write number stones for counting in 5s up to 60
- 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 etc
- order the stones clockwise starting at 12
OR
Make a paper clock
Learn about o’clock
Learn about half past
Pretend to be a clock
- Ask someone to shout out a time.
- Use your arms to show what time it is.

fun TIME!
Dandelion Clocks!
When I was little I would love finding these seed heads intact and using them to ‘tell the time’. I would blow the dandelion and say 1 o’clock, blow the dandelion – 2 o’clock etc. I would ask what time it was and then try to blow the dandelion that number of times to confirm that a dandelion clock did work!
What’s the Time Mr Wolf?
Watch these children playing this game. Could you do this with your family?
Enjoy this story ‘What’s the Time Mr Wolf’ being read by the author Debi Gliori

Mild – Numeracy – In a minute!
What do you think you can do in a minute?
Have a go at these challenges!
Over the past few weeks we have been learning to add and subtract.
You have used blocks or numicon or buttons or fingers to work out the answer.
Let’s begin to see if we can learn to remember number facts, quickly!
Like a workout for the brain. The more you practise the better you will become at remembering number facts. Your brain will be able to tell you the fact quickly when you need it!
For example as soon as you see
1 + 1 = you know that the answer is 2.
It just pops up in your brain!
The challenge is to see how many answers you can remember in a minute!
In this sway there are sets of cards to help you practise against the clock! Take a moment to study the minute hand on a clock.
- Doubles
- Stories of 10
- Adding on 2
- Adding on 3
- Adding on 4 etc.
These are examples of sheets that you could look at to challenge yourself, they don’t need to be printed and filled in
Every now and again have a go at one of the columns or groups of facts to give your brain a mental maths work out!
Number Bond Challenges
Number Bonds – these are numbers that add together to make another, learning number bonds, number stories, facts, helps to improve mental maths agility.
Add three numbers – number bonds to 20
Subtraction from 10

Numeracy and HWB – Plan your Learning for Health Week 1
During the next fortnight we will be learning about time across the school. Take a look at the timetable for Week 1 of ‘Health Fortnight’.
Haven’t Miss Deans and the Health Group been busy planning an action packed ‘Health Fortnight’ for us?
Calendars and timetables can help you plan what you would like to do when.
Take a look at this timetable – it is for children who are interested in taking part in the mild challenges.
It uses pictures to show when the mild literacy and numeracy learning activities will be shared this week.
Did you notice that it has a blank column?
This is for filling with learning ideas? Having an interest, a hobby, a craft, a sport that you love doing, learning more about can help to make you very happy. That makes this column very important. I can’t wait to find out what ideas everyone has.
How are you going to plan what you will learn to do this week?
I got a shock last week when I looked at how many steps I had taken each day. I was spending far too much time sitting and looking at a computer screen. I often work in the kitchen because the internet signal is best in there but I am far too close to the kettle and the biscuit tin! No walking and too many snacks!
Clearly I was not looking after my health and was not very good at planning my time so I have had a go at writing out a timetable for this week.
Can you see what I am planning to make more time to do?
I know that I need to make the effort to walk more and eat more healthy snacks. I am feeling quite calm and positive now that I have a plan. I will update you with my progress on Wednesday.
Here are some blank timetables for you to plan with.
If it’s not possible to print the timetable have a go at designing your own, much more fun!

Mild Numeracy – Measurement – Spelling Bee Hat
P1 and P2 have been practising words that are spelt with the long vowel sound ‘ee’.

This is a great way to practise your measuring skills using a different measuring tool – the measuring tape.

Maths: MILD: Subtraction #1
Today we are going to be having a closer look at Subtraction.
For some this might be new, so we should all take time to talk about what we are thinking to our family. Remember when we are struggling or making mistakes we know that we are learning and our brains are working hard.
The focus of today will be on the language and discussion of what we are doing when we subtract or take something away. For this you can use any amount of objects it could be toys, coins or even some natural objects you find outside.
Follow the sway below.
Our next step is to focus on writing it down and using written numbers when we use practical materials.
