Count the cars forward and backwards.

Thursday 4th March 2021

If the children go on a walk or even look out of the window can they complete a traffic count? How many red cars, blue cars, silver cars and black cars do they see? Can they draw that many cars and write the value e.g 4 black cars? It's would be lovely to hear how many cars you spotted!!!

Wednesday 3rd March

Try this number ordering game below!

Tuesday 2nd March

Continuing with counting, see how many toys you have! You could sort them into sets then count them. Which toy do you have more of? Which toys do you have the same number?

Listen to this counting song too!

Monday 1st March

This week we would like you to practice your counting and number formation. You can write numbers in anything like sand, soil, stones, chalk ....

Friday 26th February 

Try this game today to make sure you can use the words to describe size.

If you want to extend your child’s learning you could try using non-standard units to measure with eg, lego bricks - how many lego bricks is the same as the pencil?

Thursday 25th February 

Watch the clip below. Can you use the words long, short, longest, shortest? Once you can decide which is longest out of 2 objects, can you order 3 objects by length? Below you will see some example. Please send us a picture of your long and short objects.

Wednesday 23rd February

Now that you are fantastic at big and little, let's find out about long and short. Watch Kit and Pup to find out more.

Tuesday 23rd February

Using the words big and small can you find items around your house that are different sizes? Eg, a big spoon and a little spoon, a big teddy and a little teddy. You could sort them into big and little sets.

Monday 22nd February

In maths we will continue to look at measures. This week we will focus on length.

Use your coat hanger weighing scales to find out which is heaviest and lightest out of a set of 3 objects. Can you put them in order? You could draw a picture or take a photo.

Wednesday 3rd February

So, now you have had chance to feel heavy and light objects, let's try making our own balance scales. You could start with finding the heaviest and lightest then make it a bit trickier by finding things that balance! 

Tuesday 2nd February

Do you know what heavy and light feels like? Find some objects around your house and see if you can be a weighing scale and find out which is heavy and which is light. I wonder what the lightest thing you can find is? Email me to let me know!

Monday 1st February

Have you noticed it's a new month? 

This week we are going to be thinking about weight. You will need to use words like heavy, light, heavier, lighter, heaviest and lightest.

Watch Kit and Pup to find out the difference.

Simon says sit under the table.

Thursday 28th January

We are still thinking about positional words. Listen to the story of Rosie's Walk. Can you spot the position words that are used? Once you have heard the story see if you can take your teddy for a walk using position words. You could even draw a map to show me where your teddy went!

Wednesday 27.1.21

Positional language.

Use the story Where’s Spot? - listen to the different places Spot could be.

Monday 11th January

Once you have listened to the story of Oliver's Vegetables in the Literacy star, you could do some careful counting with vegetables! Sing along to the rhyme below and if you have some potatoes in your cupboard, you could use them to sing the song. I wonder if you can have a go at writing the numbers next to the potatoes too!

Friday 8th January 2021

You could write numerals 0-5 on separate pieces of paper. Then ask your child to do some careful counting. Can they count 3 cars and match this to the numeral? Can they count 5 dinosaurs and match this to the numeral? Hope you have fun! I would love to see a photo of how they get on!
