Today was dry but chilly for most of our time outdoors, so we were glad we took out our jackets just incase. 😊
We organised ourselves into the months of our birthdays to start off today. Knowing important facts like the date and month we were born in is really helpful when we are playing games to organise ourselves, just like knowing where our name comes in the alphabet, it’s good to know when our birthdays come in the year.
Using different strategies like ‘friends of ten’ and ‘double numbers’ is useful when we are adding lots of numbers together. So we practised doing this today in our teams using stones. Here are some photographs of us working together doing just that.
And here are two great videos of Sam and Mayar explaining how to group numbers together to make it easier to work out the total of all the numbers given.
