We had quite a mixed bag of weather today for our outdoor learning session, from cloudy to rainy to sunny and back again!! ⛅️ ☔️ 🌞

On our way out we chanted up and down through multiples of ten before playing some games to help us remember how to count up and down in tens.

We then placed lots of numbers in the correct place on a giant number line noticing which multiple of ten we were nearest to.

After that we rounded numbers to the nearest ten.

Then sorted all the numbers in front of their nearest ten.

Our final challenge was was to find the numbers that were in the wrong place…this proved quite tricky, so we will practise this again next time

Well what a morning of mixed weather we had today! We had overcast, cloudy and cold to start, then freezing cold, snow, sleet and hail and after playtime crisp, cold and bright sunshine! We kept on learning through it all and came back indoors for lunch with smiles on our faces. 😁

Our main learning today was about ‘friends of ten’, that’s two numbers that add together to make ten. Knowing these pairs without even having to think about it is really important in maths, and practising by playing games helps us remember them. We played ball games, then counting hailstones on our tongues then running games finding partners that added to make ten. Finally  we made some tens rockets on the muddy grass.

Just after playtime we spotted a frog in the playground too and there were lots of wriggly worms in our rockets coming out to play in the mud with us!
