This week we have continued our work on numbers beyond 10. We have introduced subtraction at the start of this week and played games whilst the children discussed numbers in relation to the words ‘fewer’ and ‘less’.

We have also looked at really knowing the numerical order of numbers 11-20. We have looked at missing numbers as well as ordering the numbers looking carefully.

We have attached some activity ideas sheets for you to support your child’s learning at home. Remember- if your child does something amazing, please remember to upload it to Tapestry so that we can share in their success!

talking and supporting to 20 and beyond for adults

The children have been continuing to develop their understanding of numbers up to 5. This week they have been looking at different ways that we can make 5 and having a go at recording their work.
The children have been using 5 frames to figure out how much they need to add to a given amount to make 5. They have also been figuring out how many are missing from a group of 5 by using their knowledge of number facts and their 5 frames. They had lots of fun hiding compare bears in a tent for their partners to work out how many were missing!

This week we will be exploring time. We will be looking at the days of the week and the months of the year and putting them into the right order. If you could talk to your child about their birthday month it will be helpful for them to see themselves in the yearly calendar.

We will also be looking at clocks and making our own paper clock thinking about where the numbers on on it and discussing simple times. See if you can help your child to understand time by showing them timings from their daily routine e.g. bed time, dinner time etc.
