Monday’s Maths

Since today is the start of a new month AND a new season I thought we could do some work on months of the year and seasons of the year!

Today is the first day of June and it is the start of the season Summer. 

Warm Up:

• Can you remember how many months are in a year? Can you name them?

• Can you remember how many seasons there are? Can you name them? 

Sing along with these videos to help you remember the months of the year and seasons – I have put on your favourite seasons song! Remember in America they call Autumn, ‘Fall’. 

 

Main Activity:

• Have a look outside and see if you can spot any signs of summer

  What do the trees look like? Look at their leaves.	Is it dark when you go to bed or get up in the morning?
  What are people wearing?	What is the weather like?

• If you can, have a go at this ‘Signs of Summer Scavenger Hunt’. I managed to find 6 of the items – can you beat me?

Extra Challenge:

• Draw a picture of yourself in summer – try to include as many signs of summer as possible. Think about what you would be wearing and where you would be. What would the weather be like?
