Hi everyone, another week of home learning is almost over.
This morning for Maths can you practice 5 and 10 frames. We were working on these in class – everyone made a fantastic 5 frame robot or 10 frame monster. Watch the video below to remind you about 10 frames. Use the link below to play games based on 10 frames. We have played this game a few times in class so you should be getting much faster now. Also, remember to complete the Maths activities on your home learning grid.
Also, practice counting to 100 or 1000 if you can. Try starting from different numbers. Try going backwards too.
Choose a number from the 100 square in the picture and get a family member to challenge you with these questions. (If you are able you can try with numbers to 1000 and beyond)
1. Whats the number before, after, between?
2. What is ten more/ten less?
3. What is 2/3/4/5 more?
Have a great weekend. Stay safe everyone! Remember Monday is a holiday. Speak to you on Tuesday. Mrs Reid.
Good afternoon everyone. Here are a few Health and Well-being activities for you to do this afternoon.
This afternoon can you make a card for someone you are missing due to lockdown? On the front of your card, create a picture using pens, paint, glitter etc. Inside your card, write a message to the person you are missing. You can leave the card on the persons doorstep if they live close by when you go a walk (remember to stay 2 meters apart and to wash your hands afterwards) or you can keep your card safe until you see them again.
Make a list of kind things you can do during lockdown for your family in your house. Try and think of as many as possible. Try and do one of your kind things everyday for one week.
