Week 10

Today we made towers out of wooden bricks. We counted how many we had. When we knocked them over we counted again - did we still have the same number of bricks?

It is the same - none of them have been taken away.

Week 10

We revisited our work on height, comparing the height of different buildings in London, as well as each other. We made sure to use the language of taller than and shorter than to make these comparisons.

Devran is the tallest.
Luca

Henry is taller than Emily.
Ellie

Thea is in the middle. She isn't tall or short.
Alexa

They look nearly the same.

..and Alex is the shortest.

Week 12

The Numberblocks had lost their Numberlings (numerals). The children used their counting skills to help match them up and put them back together. We looked carefully at the shape of the numerals and began recognising patterns which we could use to help when writing them.

We have continued to order our numbers to 5 and 10. Using cubes we have been building our Numberblock friends and putting them in the correct order. We made a staircase and saw that the towers got taller each time. They got taller by 1 because each time we needed to add 1 more cube.

Session 5 - Finding half of an amount.

Today we learnt that to halve something you have to split it into two parts. These have to be equal. You can also halve numbers and we modelled this by sharing sweets and biscuits between Mrs Niblock and Max. We found that half of 6 is 3, half of 4 is 2 and half of 2 is 1. We demonstrated this on our fingers and began to see how it relates to our know doubles facts.

Week 13 - making 5

Using the song '5 Speckled frogs', to help us, we worked out the different ways to make the 5. We then used this knowledge to complete some part / whole diagrams.

Sequencing the Day

In teams we sorted and arranged images to show the sequence of our day. Using words such as before, after, next and then we talked through our daily routines.

Week 14 - Discovering shapes

We have completed lots of shape work this week. We looked at the names and properties of simple 2D and 3D shapes. We then used them to draw around or build with, making lots of famous landmarks.

I used cubes and pyramids to make the Houses of Parliament.
