Today’s maths lesson is about recognising notes.

Watch the video to learn how to identify notes by colour, size and value. Then have a go at the activity sheet below.

Tip: The size of the note tells you how much it is worth. The £5 note is the smallest and is worth the least, for example.

Lesson 3-Recognising Notes

Play this game to consolidate your understanding of money. Listen to the value that is called out and click on the correct coin or note.

Yesterday you were asked to come up with ideas to make the monster feel happy.

Today we will be think about what makes YOU happy. 

Think of a place that makes you feel happy. It might be real place or made up such as unicorn land or in the clouds with rainbows and sunshine.

Draw a picture of your happy place so when things get tough you can go there!

REMINDER- SCIENCE PROJECT

Last week Miss Whittaker set the year 1 and 2 children a task to experiment with paper planes.

The children were asked to complete the following activities:

• Research the wonderful Wright brothers.
• Make a paper plane to see how far it can go.
• Modify and adapt your design to make it travel further.

Today’s maths lesson is about recognising coins. 

Watch the video then have a go at the activity sheet below.

TIP: When learning about money bear in mind that children often believe the largest coin has the highest value. Therefore, in children’s minds, 2p or 50p must be worth the most. Explain that brown coins have the lowest value etc.

Lesson 2 – Recognising Coins

Use this interactive PowerPoint to practise some more coin recognition. This activity slowly reveals one coin at a time while your child has to guess which coin it is.

Lesson-1-Ordering Numbers

This week, we would like the children at home to get involved with our creative writing challenge! Each key stage will be given a different theme which will hopefully inspire them and give them a purpose for their writing.

PLEASE NOTE: This is not a competition. The aim of this challenge is to inspire and encourage creative writing.
