Friday’s Work for Children at Home

Hello and Happy Friday!

We hope you’re feeling okay. Here are some activities for you to do if you’re learning at home.

 

Numeracy:

Today we’re learning about making equal groups by sharing.

Watch the video https://vimeo.com/49260327.

 

Now, complete the sheet. You could use objects you have at home rather than counters, for example you could use stones from the garden or some of your favourite toys.

Next Tuesday we’re going to be making vehicles out of junk modelling materials (cereal boxes, toilet roll tubes, bottles, yoghurt pots and much more).

Today, you’re going to design a vehicle. Can you include axels and wheels that make your vehicle move? What shape of body will your vehicle have? How are you going to decorate it?

 

We hope you have a great day and enjoy the home learning activities 🙂
