Good morning again everyone!
I had an enjoyable week working in the hub.
I hope you are all well.
I hope you managed some learning; here are some more ideas:
Numeracy
The older boys and girls in the hub were doing some numeracy last week. They all said how important it was to remember their times tables and stories of 10, as you keep using them as you go up the school. So, I thought I would give you some more ways of practicing them today.
Squares and triangles
Here’s a link to the game we have played in P2:
https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button
( select times tables, then squares you could use 2, 5 or 10x, triangles, 2 or 10 )
You might also want to use the dominoes from your pack.
How about a game ( similar to the ones we played in class) ?
Make a game like this(add you own sums) and play with an older brother or sister or grown up. Roll a dice, when you land on a square, answer the question. If you get it right, you may stay where you are. If you get it wrong, move back to the start. Good luck !
Here’s a funny dance to help you remember your 5 times tables:

Circles
This game practises your number stories of 10 and your taking away ( use the 100 square or household items such as pasta, lego, cuddly toys, etc to help you take away,if you get stuck)

The link below gives great practice in adding on and counting back. Activity 2 has a worksheet with pictures of Numicon (as we used in school):

It shows you how we can use and to join two ideas. You did a tiny bit about this in class, but it explains it well and i am sure you will manage it.
Alternatively try joining these sentences:
Example:
I can see a car. I can see a tree. I can see a car and I can see a tree.
I like pizza. I love chips.
I can sing. I can dance.
My name is___________. I like to play football.
Other activities
We tried both of these in the hub last week:
- Grow a rainbow ( I gave a link to this before, but it was very easy and such fun, I thought I would post the idea again, in case you missed it):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iZCNnYewmk or https://www.thebestideasforkids.com/grow-a-rainbow-experiment/It fits in quite well with our learning in term 3 on materials too.
- Make a rainbow spinner https://fun-science.org.uk/rainbow-spinner-experiment/or http://www.benscoloringpages.com/coloringpages/rainbowcraft.php
We used a piece of paper divided into segments, stuck it onto a piece of card, then cut it out ( old cereal box again!) and stuck a pencil through centre.
It’s fun to see what happens to the colours when you spin the spinner!
Have a good day boys and girls!
