 NUMBER – This week we are counting sets of objects, ordering numbers, reading and writing numbers.

Key Vocab – guess, how many? More/less, about, between nearly, fewer

You will need a set of objects up to 20 (pasta/buttons/beads/pencils/) socks and numbers to 20.

- Warm up- Fill 2 socks with small objects (start with low numbers). Your child needs to guess how many objects are in each sock and match this to a written number. Remind them as it’s a guess (estimate) if they are wrong it doesn’t matter they just need to be as close as they can.

Empty out the socks count to check. The language used is: Are there more or less/fewer than your guess?

How many more or less/fewer? How can we work this out?

Get the children to close their eyes and imagine looking at 5 pencils.

Show your child 3 pencils briefly. Were there more than 5 or less?

Say – we can guess there were fewer than 5

We guess the number of pencils was less than 5 so we made a good guess.

Discuss would 30 be a good guess? No

Repeat with different groups of objects (7/4/5/2) staying with the 5 in your head.

Introduce vocabulary through questioning.

e.g Are there more than 3, about 5, nearly 10:is the number more than 10? Is it less than 20? Is it between 10 and 20?

Family activity.

Add objects to a container. Go round the family and ask them to guess how many are in the pot. Write the answers down.  Open the container and count them to see who has made the best guess.

 Maths Seeds is available and your maths books.

TOPIC

What is a fruit?

It is actually the part of the plant that keeps the seeds safe. If you cut into any fruit you will find seeds. Berries like strawberries have their seeds on the outside. Fruit is often soft and  juicy  so if it drops from a tree it will protect the seeds inside like a pear, apple or an orange. The fruit is also food for the seeds to start to grow. 

You can continue the food diaries adding the fruit that you eat each day.

It is recommend by the government to eat 5 different types of fruit or vegetables a day to get all the vitamins and minerals you need to keep healthy.

In my house we all love fruit and vegetables,.

If you are unsure about trying new foods I recommend that you lick the fruit first to try its flavour then maybe cut 'fairy' bites.  Little steps are needed to introduce new foods. Again don’t worry too much about spellings of the fruit and vegetables.

If this is not available the fruit discussed are.

apples, grapes, pears, cherries, strawberries, plums and bananas.

Can you remember any of the fruit in the story?

Which of these fruit do we grow in this country? Why? 

 Talk about the different fruits you have in your house and find out which countries they have come from.

Can you find these countries on a map?

If available cut open a fruit to find the seeds. You can have a go at planting them to see if the will grow. Remind yourself of what a seeds will need to grow? There is also a bit of fraction work here. Two halves makes a whole, 4 quarters makes a whole.

Click here to name a few different fruit and vegetables.

Don't forget the race for life is on tomorrow afternoon. Myself and Mrs Barker will be running round the school field.

Good work today well done.
