This term we have continued to learn all about addition and we have been learning how to write our own addition number sentences. We are doing very well with this and have been using lots of different fun activities during our numeracy time. We have started using a chilli challenge when selecting addition cards and we have enjoyed choosing the ‘hot’ chillies to challenge ourselves!

The chilli challenge has three different tubs and these are labelled mild (one chilli), spicy (two chillies) and hot (three chillies), the boys and girls can choose their own number sentence from either of the three tubs and they know that if they start on mild and think they want to try a bigger number they can pick from the spicy or hot tub. The children have responded well to this and it has been lovely seeing so many of them challenging themselves. Well done!
