What does doubling mean?

In this lesson we will find out what the word ‘double’ means by making and spotting doubles.

Watch the video. 

You will need some objects that you can count with, such as pasta or cereal and some number cards.
We will be exploring what doubling means. We will see what double an amount is and compare to see if a quantity is a double.
Practice saying “Double ______ is equal to ______.” If you are green standard then use the word twice.
Continue to match amounts to the numbers and create the double. Then say the sentence.

Project Polar

Good morning

I have just received an email from Yorkshire Wildlife Park to say that due to current Covid restrictions they are having to cancel our virtual Project Polar visit. They apologise for the inconvenience and are looking forward to working with us in the future.
Although this is disappointing for the children, we fully understand the situation they are in. We have some other on line resources including clips from the Wildlife Park that we will use instead.

Make a Sound Story

Today we are going to make a sound story.

Use your storymap to sequence the story and retell it adding sounds. Choose objects from around the home to retell the story. Think back to your last sound story. Which objects made loud sounds and which made quiet sounds. Can you make a swishy sound for the grass or squelchy sounds for the mud? There are lots of ideas to get you started here: bearhunt sound story but I’m sure you can all use your imaginations too!

Remember to share your sound stories when they are ready. Have fun!
