Friday 14th December

What an amazing Christmas performance! We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. We though we would take some photos of our amazing cast! 

Today we have had lots of fun wearing our Christmas jumpers, making party hats and enjoying our Christmas lunch. 

Many thanks to Mrs Fox and the team for their efforts - lunch was delicious! 

This week in maths we have been continuing our learning about place value.

We began the week by using sticks and bricks to make numbers between 11 and 20.
What numbers are represented?

Can you child explain  the mistake?

Follow the link to play a game using sticks and bricks to consolidate your child's understanding of place value.http://www.ictgames.com/sharkNumbers/mobile/index.html

We also used the part whole model and tens frames to show the numbers between 11 and 20.

Can your child tell you the number being represented?

The following day we used our knowledge of one more and one less.

Here are some problems you may like to use at home using this knowledge. You could make up similar ones with different numbers or for 1 less.

On Friday we compared numbers using the words most/least,  more/less, greatest and smallest.  You make like to compare numbers at home using these words.

Also during the week we have ordered a selection of numbers from smallest to greatest and vice versa. You may like to do this at home.

We hope that you have a good weekend - only one week to go!
