Good afternoon boys and girls,

Today we would like you to focus on subtraction. This means you need to start with a number and you are going to take some away. Ask an adult at home to give you a question, here is one to get you started. Start with 7 and take 3 away. You need to go and collect 7 items and then take 3 of them away. How many are you left with? You should now only have 4.

Once you have practised a few of these using materials why not go onto sumdog where we have set you a challenge!

Why not try improving your fine motor skills this afternoon by practising your cutting skills. Get yourself a toilet roll tube or kitchen roll tube and give it some funky hair. Then get a pen and give it a face like below. Send us your picture once you are finished.

Have a lovely afternoon

Try to think of 4 words that begin with y. Then in your jotter write two sentences with y words in. Such as,

For Music this morning we are still looking at some of the disney songs. Here are some examples,

These songs are both about sea creatures. How do you think they are feeling? Are they happy, sad, worried, excited or angry? How does the changes in the music tell you how they are feeling?

Good afternoon boys and girls,

We hope you have had a nice morning and are still making the most of the weather.

Today since it is so nice why not go for a walk and see if you can collect 12 stones and 2 sticks. Once your home can you write the numbers 1-12 on the stones and make a clock face. The sticks can be used as the hands. Can someone at home give you a time and can you make it on the clock. Here is an example. Email us your finished clocks.

French – Mrs Grenfell would like you to watch this video  and listen out for the words below

tourne – turn 

le moulin – windmill

Can you make up actions for the song? 

Have a lovely day, it is another beautiful day today, enjoy the sun.
