Main Task:
Miss Donald came up with a fun idea this week; she suggested we write a story about a photograph from my Dad’s farm. Here is a photo I shared with you the other day – remember this sheep had triplets and had to come into the shed to give extra milk to her lambs. Jim the Sheepdog helped bring her in.
Here are some ideas for your story:
Describe the lambs
What are they doing?
What is the weather like?
How do you think they are feeling?
Where are they?
What can you see?
Remember capital letters, finger spaces and full stops.
Try to include a joining word (and, so, but, because) to join two sentences together.
Can you use any describing words to add extra detail to your story?
Write down your numbers as far as you can – you can try and count up in 1’s, 2’s, 5’s or 10’s. Who can reach the highest number?
Main Task:
In class we learned our number stories to 10.
Remember a ‘number story’ includes all the different ways to make a number e.g. here are the number stories of 2 and 3:
To remind you of your number stories, click on this link: Number Storiesand it should go through each number story one after the next. If the link doesn’t work then type ‘number pairs’ into YouTube.
In your jotter, or on a piece of paper, can you write down the number stories for numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. Write down all the different ways to make each number, just like in the examples above.
You can make you number stories colourful, or make them like a poster, if you wish.
Do you remember the pattern we worked out in class? There are 2 ways to make 1, 3 ways to make 2, 4 ways to make 3, 5 ways to make 4 etc.
Extra Challenge:
Can you write down the number stories for numbers bigger than 10?

I thought I would come on and share photos of some of the lambs that have been born on my Dad’s farm. He reckons that there have been about 800 born so far. Because it is a hill farm, all the lambs are born outside – thank goodness for the sun this year!
Jim, the sheepdog, has been working hard each day and is very tired – he keeps falling asleep on the quad bike and my Dad has to wake him up to do his work…it is very funny!
Most of the sheep have 1 or 2 lambs but this sheep below had triplets! Dad had to bring her into the shed from the field to give the lambs some extra milk because their mum didn’t have enough to feed all 3 of them.
Sometimes, when the sheep are so kind and are really close to having their lamb, they try and take another sheeps lamb. When my Dad went into the field, the lamb below had 2 mums! My dad had to work out who the real Mum was and put her in the pen for a few hours with her lamb so they could form a bond.
This wee lamb below is only a few minutes old. The sheep is licking her lamb up and bleating to it the whole time. The Mum and her lamb recognise each other from their smell and the sound of their bleat. After a few minutes the lamb will get up and have a drink of milk. The sheep is having twins so it won’t be long until she has another one.
The 2 lambs in the photo below weren’t able to find their Mums milk so were looking a bit hungry. My Dad caught the sheep with his crook (and help from Jim the Sheepdog) and helped them get a drink of milk. He had to turn the sheep over onto her back. When he went back out to the field later that day, the lambs had managed to get the milk on their own.
Morning p1/2. Happy Friday to you all! Here is today’s lessons. Have a great weekend in the spring sun ☀️ .
