Time and number fun

Even though it was sunny today, it was still quite chilly as we worked outside on time and on some number strategies too.

We started off by getting ourselves into the shape of a pentagon. What great ideas we had to do this…the best one was definitely from Emily who suggested making a square then joining a triangle on to the top of it. 👍

We then organised ourselves into date of birth order. It’s definitely helpful to know our date of birth for this type of activity.

After that we made clocks and played some games to make different times. This has helped us all become more sure of how to read and make the time on digital and analogue clocks.

Finally we played some games to help us  add four numbers together n our heads. We learned the best way to group the numbers to help us do this. The more we practise our number bonds the easier it becomes, so keep trying to practise everyday.

 

Outdoor time

The weather was beautiful today as we enjoyed our outdoor learning session with Mrs Kelly. 🌞

On our journey out to our learning area we searched for circles before arranging ourselves into a circle around the base. We learned that the distance between the centre of a circle and the side of a circle is called its radius.

After that we played some warm up games to help us remember which way is left and which is right.

Next we made numbers to go around our giant clock and talked about how the hands move around the clock each hour.

Finally we played some games to match digital time with analogue time.
