Bears out of circles

We have been practicing our fine motor skills today ready for making masks tomorrow. We have been drawing circles and then cutting out. We have some fantastic examples. A shout out goes to Liwan who really persevered with her cutting to make her teddy and to Emma who helped her choose the best scissors and explained how to hold them.

Well done everyone. We are ready to learn how to make a mask tomorrow.

Tuesday’s maths

Tuesday’s maths
Today in maths we are learning to apply knowledge of one more and one fewer using a number line to support understanding. Gold standard learning is to begin to use a number line and green standard is to use the number line to say 1 greater and 1 less upto 15. Can you say this without the number line?

Play the heads and tails game.
There is also a guessing number game to play.

This is the link to the video.

If you go down in the woods today………

Here is what Mrs Melady has made the classroom look like, to inspire you. The children have displayed their bear paintings. Yours at home may be on the fridge? Don’t they look wonderful? The  children have all enjoyed mixing brown with red, yellow and blue to paint their bears.

         

Monday’s maths

This week we are continuing learning about numbers to 15 but thinking about 1 fewer today. Lots of us are confident with 1 greater/1 more but not so confident with 1 fewer/1 less.
1 fewer means taking 1 away.
If you are able to complete the activities, make a number line and practice saying 1 less. Ask your adult to choose a number and you show and tell them 1 less.

This is the link to the video.
