Maths Activities

Games clipart 2 – Gclipart.com

The games below help children to develop early calculation strategies. The games are also simple and enjoyable to play!

Sum Turnover

For this game you will need some cards numbered 4 to 9. Take turns to roll two dice and add the two numbers together. If you have a card that matches the total of the dice you can turn the card over. The aim of the game is to be the first one to turn over all of your cards.

To make this game simpler or trickier adjust the number of cards each player has. 

Connect 4

This game is played in pairs. Take turns to roll two dice. Find the sum of the numbers on the dice and cross off the total on the grid. The winner is the first person to connect 4 boxes. This game can be adapted to practice subtraction too. Simply roll the two dice and find the difference between the two numbers.

Please find the grids for both games below.

Sum-Connect-4 grid

Difference-Connect-4 grid

NOTE: The grids are different depending on whether you are adding or subtracting.

Literacy Task

Yesterday we looked at the story ‘Pippety Skycap- A tale of Mischief’

Click here to read the story again.

Pippety is a naughty pixie who loves to cause trouble. Can you design a poster that warns everyone to watch out for Pippety’s tricks?

Remember to:

  • Draw Pippety so that everyone will know what he looks like
  • Describe some of the tricks he likes to play
  • Tell everyone what they should do if they see Pippety
  • Offer a reward.

Use this template to make your poster or create your own!

Don’t forget to send in a copy of your work to year1team@stgeorgesschool.org.uk

Key worker children-essential to book your place please

Current key worker families: As more children are now coming in to school as key workers, it is essential that you book your child in with us. If you do not book them in, we may not be able to have them on that day due to numbers. Please email admin@stgeorgesschool.org.uk to let us know you childcare requirements for weeks beginning 1st and 8th June by tomorrow midday at the latest. Thank you.

New key worker families: If you are a key worker and your child is coming into school for the first time since lockdown, it is essential that you book a place for them by emailing admin@stgeorgesschool.org.uk. If you do not book them in, we may not be able to have them on that day due to numbers. We are asking for you to email your childcare requirements by midday tomorrow for weeks beginning 1st and 8th June. Thank you.

From Monday 1st June, we will be organising the classrooms a bit differently for key worker children in light of the new risk assessment we have done following national and local new guidance. This will include a one way system for dropping off and collecting your child. We will email all key worker parents tomorrow with a detailed plan once we have final numbers of children who will be coming into school. The full Risk Assessment will be added to the school website later today.

Please note, at this stage school is only open to key worker children and vulnerable children. As soon as we know more, we will let other groups/year groups know a start date.

Thank you for your patience.
