Financial Education Activity

This week is Financial Education Week. Today, we would like you to begin to explore money.

What is money? How do we use money? What amounts of money do we have? 

Below are some images of coins and notes, can you name them? We also have some matching and counting activities to have a go at in relation to money. You might want to see what you already know, and maybe explore beginning to add amounts. 

Maths

Starter

Your first task of the week is to practice your Gem Maths level.  We are then focusing on numbers between 90 and 100.  Use your hundred square to practise counting up and down in ones between 90 and 100.

Counting in 10s

Over the next two weeks you will be working on the concepts of multiplication and division.  You have already practised counting in twos, fives and tens, and have answered questions based on repeated addition of two and five.  Today we are going to focus on counting in tens and answering questions in this context.

Begin by practising counting up in tens from zero to one hundred.  Then practice counting backwards.  See if you can start on a given multiple of ten and count form there.  Use your hundred square to support you with this if you require it.

What is the same about all the numbers we say when we count in tens?

Now try these:

Here are the questions in a document.

Activity - Recycling Woodland

We would like you to use recycling materials including cardboard, tubes, paper, card, plastic bottles or any other items to create a recycled woodland. We would like you to base it on a woodland and try to replicate the Three Little Pigs houses. You might want to think about the Gruffalo's woodland to help your design. 

Phonics and Reading

We would like you to watch the phonics lessons from Letters and Sounds which are located on YouTube and also uploaded on the phonics resource and support section in the Home Learning part of the website.

We are uploading the videos from the previous week and would like you to keep checking the Phonics section each day, especially if there is a sound your child needs to work on. Please feel free to revisit this sound, as this is what we would be doing in class to consolidate understanding. 

If there are supporting activities to support the video, they will be underneath, There are also some videos using flash cards. Please have a go at saying the sounds along with Miss Smith. Make sure you are saying the pure sounds accurately. 

Don't forget to read your book everyday.
