Good Morning everyone I hope you all had a fantastic weekend and have been enjoying this amazing sunny weather! Welcome to the brand new month of June. We have now moved from Spring into Summer!

The second one is a little bit different – the question (for each ten frame) is how many dots do you see and how many more to make 10?

Can you explain the strategy you used? For example, I may say “I see 4 dots and  I already know that 4 and 6 make 10, so I would need 6 more dots to fill the  10 frame.

Top  Tip– remember when counting the apples it may be a good idea to cross them off so you don’t count them twice or not at all.

Activity 4 – Art and Crafts

L.I. to use a range of media creatively

S.C. I can use my fingerprints to create an effect

As it is Friday, I thought you might like to try a little art activity. Below is a picture of a tree, a very personal tree. It is personal because the person who painted it used their fingerprints to create foliage. So why not try to make your own personal tree. Firstly, you need to draw the trunk and branches (as below, you may need a little help) then using your finger tips dip them in print (Make sure you don’t use too much or you won’t see the lines of your finger prints) and lastly decorate the tree with them. Enjoy! Alternatively you could use different shades of green and create a background for your tree.
