This term P1B have been using different objects to help us with our addition skills. We have been learning how to add two groups of objects together and representing this in different ways.  We have also been focussing on learning our number bonds to 10. We made a number bond robot and we named him Meatball!

Ahoy there me hearties! We had a visit from nasty Captain Stinky who’d hidden some stolen treasure in our playground. When we found it, we realised it had numbers on it so we had the job of ordering all 20 coins to make sure we had found them all.  Miss Bull sent us on a pirate assault course to collect more treasure, bring it back to our team and add the two groups of treasure together to find the total. Other members of the team had the job of writing the sum down on the board behind.

We’ve also been learning all about money! We have been learning to recognise different coins and add 1ps and 2ps together to buy items from the shop. We’ve also been practicing to write shopping lists.
