baby toddler child teenager adult and Elderly person.
Hopefully you all will have found a nice Mother's day surprise in your child bag.
Just remind them if they have forgotten.
The children's highlight this week was the Thursday Tea party for world book day!
Thank you for your contribution to this we have enough cake for another two tea parties before Easter!
In math's we are looking at number to 9 and 10.
We are looking at number facts to 9.
All the ways to make 9 there may be more than two ways such as 3 3 3 = 9. We use real objects to do this.
Number bonds to 10 this is two number which add together to make 10. Quiz them on this if they are unsure get the 10 frame out.
This quick calculation will help them in the future.
