This week, the children’s photos from home have inspired us to look at extracts from the story At the Beach by Roland Harvey. In the book are a series of postcards written by the main characters, who are visiting the seaside.
The children had a go at writing their own postcards, from a place they’ve visited before. We had trips to the museum, beaches, parks and more! The children were really confident coming up with their own ideas for their postcards.
In maths, we’ve been exploring the focus number 19. We’ve also revisited creating and counting groups of objects for early multiplication. The children worked so hard on their maths challenges!
We’ve been harvesting our potatoes this week, grown in our outdoor garden area. We counted how many had grown and explored weighing them using the bucket scales.
Here are some photos of our super-busy learning this week …
Home-Link Challenge
This week we will come to our final focus number- 20!
Inspired by England’s victory on Tuesday evening, we thought we’d set a football themed number challenge.
Ask your child to fill in the missing numbers to 20. It’s a bit tricky, as the numbers do not follow in a straight line, as they do in our usual number lines.
If your child is working on numbers within 10, you could have a try just using the top row.
You can click here to download the sheet, or draw out your own footballs.
If your child is working on recognising numbers within ten and/or teen numbers, you could download football number cards here and have a practise.
