Numeracy
Numeracy begins with an activity in our messy maths jotter. You can choose between ‘Green for go’ or ‘Pink for think’. Using only the numbers below create your own addition calculations (no subtraction today) and work out the answer. Remember to use things like a whiteboard, number line, cubes and so on to help you work out the answers.
Green for go
| 1 | 5 | 0 |
| 9 | 3 | 2 |
| 7 | 18 | 11 |
Pink for think
| 95 | 14 | 75 |
| 31 | 16 | 2 |
| 42 | 11 | 26 |
Today we will continue with some more revision.
- Recite numbers forwards and backwards to 20/50/100
- Count forwards and backwards in 2’s,5’s and tens.
- Order random numbers to 20/50/100. Ask your grown up to give you no more than five numbers that you need to put in the correct order smallest to largest and then largest to smallest.
- Previously you have learned about odd and even numbers. Today head to YouTube and read this story all about odd and even and tomorrow we will complete some odd and even activities.

Usually in class you would complete questions that relate to your reading book, since it is the first week back you do not have a reading book so instead you can read and answer questions all about elephants.

Each day (Monday-Thursday) you should be looking at your tricky words and phonemes. Why not try to make them a different way each day?
For example

| Tuesday | Play dough |
| Wednesday | Look, cover, write and check |
| Thursday | Shaving foam/sand |

Health and Wellbeing
At the moment school is a bit different as we are all working from home, however I would like you to set yourself a target, it may be that you have a target each week or month. Your target can be for any area of the curriculum. Perhaps you will set yourself the target of always beginning your writing at the start of the line and writing to the end of the line. Perhaps your target is to count to 20 in 2’s. It can be anything you want to aim for. Talk to your grown up at home about what you would like to work on. Then each week on a Friday you could tell me something you have done that week that you are really proud of. This might be something that is helping you move towards achieving your target or it might be something else. I can’t wait to see all the things you are achieving.
Remember to keep reading over the poem ‘Mince and Tatties’ ready for our Scottish fortnight beginning next week.
