6 years ago Posted on 28th Sep 2018 by Mrs Bowes Maths This week Class 1 have looked at the ‘fourness’ of 4. The children explored how 3 and 1 more makes 4; and 1 and 3 more makes 4. They explored and found objects with four, e.g. – a chair has 4 legs, a square has 4 sides. They collected sets of 4 things and investigated different ways to make 4 using our numicon and unifix. The children were then challenged to show what was 4 and what was not 4 and explain and prove it!
6 years ago Posted on 21st Sep 2018 by Mrs Bowes Maths This week we have continued to explore the threeness of 3. The children have compared 1,2 and 3. Matched amounts to the correct numeral, used comparative language to compare e.g. – ‘bigger than’, and ‘biggest’, ‘smaller’ etc. We have encouraged the children to use language – ‘two is bigger than one’, ‘three is the biggest’, ‘one is first’. ‘two is second’, ‘three is third’. The children have found different ways to make 3 and prove it is three, they have used language such as ‘I know it is 3 because there are 2 on top and another one underneath, 2 and 1 is 3.’ We have explored how it doesn’t matter if we move the objects around there still will be 3.

When we write ‘i’ we say down the insects body and a dot for his head. Here is a revision sheet – i The children have enjoyed finding the sounds hidden around the classroom and having a go at writing them. We have played word time games – making CVC from the sounds covered so far e.g. sat, sit, sad, Sam, Sid, mad, mat, dad, did, dot, etc. Parent guidance can be found here: https://ruthmiskin.com/en/find-out-more/parents/

6 years ago Posted on 14th Sep 2018 by Mrs Bowes Week 2 The children in Class One have had another super week. They have shared their favourite nursery rhymes and enjoyed singing them as a class. We have had fun listening for and spotting the rhyming words, then thinking of new rhyming words. We focussed on Humpty Dumpty and had fun cutting out his pieces to try and put him back together again! On Thursday we had a practice fire drill, Class One children did a great job of calmly leaving the classroom and lining up on the playground. They spent the rest of the day pretending to be Fire Fighters, putting out fires and rescuing kittens! At the beginning of the week the children were busy finding one and then two things. We remembered that 1 add another makes 2, and 2 take away 1 leaves 1. Making 3 – the children exlored how 2 things add 1 more makes 3, and 1 thing add 2 more makes 3. They made use of the items in the classroom to prove it. This week we have looked at the phonemes ‘s’ and ‘d’. When we write the sounds the children say: ‘s’ – slither down the snake ‘d’ – around the dinosaurs bottom, up his tall neck and down to his feet. The children are making good use of the class room resources to enhance their learning through play.
