We started the week looking at Numberblocks – ‘The whole of me’  https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6lpx3l

We looked at the whole and parts of a number (early addition and subtraction).The children were encouraged to say ‘If the whole is 3 then 1 is a part and 2 is a part’ etc, as they demonstrated partitioning each number.

Composition of numbers – We looked at how numbers 1 – 5 can split and then recombine – numbers can break and be put back together again.

Conservation of number – a number can be partitioned (split ) in different ways but the whole is always the same.   

The children had to help Counting Caterpillar to make sure he counted correctly and put numbers in the correct place – https://www.topmarks.co.uk/ordering-and-sequencing/caterpillar-ordering

Subitising numbers 1 to 5, some lovely games to play at home can be downloaded here – https://www.learning4kids.net/2012/10/28/counting-subitising/

Different ways of arranging blocks to 5, we began the week by watching this episode of numberblocks – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuOlMehmN-o

Each day we do word time activities (segmenting / blending / making CVC words) that link to all the sounds we have covered so far.  Here is a fun game that you may wish to print out and play with your child at home:

RWI-Set-1-Roll-It-Spell-It

Here are all the word time activity booklets that match the sounds covered so far:

pattern and symmetry

This week we have continued to look at patterns and symmetry.  We linked some our work to some of the creatures that we saw at Chester Zoo.  The children had a go at making symmetrical butterflies, just like the ones that we saw and adding pattern blocks to make the animal shapes.

We have also looked at the Festival of Diwali and the children have created symmetrical mandalas and added mendi patterns to their hand outlines.

Here is the symmetry game the children have played this week –  https://www.topmarks.co.uk/symmetry/symmetry-matching

Shape and pattern

This week we have continued to look at 2 d shapes.  We have also started to look at repeating patterns.  The children enjoyed creating their own patterns as well as completing some online.  The children had to explain what the pattern was to their friend or an adult in class.
