Time to practice Thinking Outside that Box again!
Maths:
Rapid recap: Practise counting in 2s forwards and backwards. How quickly can you go? Can you get to 100 and back?
Today we are continuing to think about number and we are going to focus on finding one more and one less. Can you find 12 on a ruler with your finger? Now find one more – you should land on 13..we say that 12 is one less than 13 and 13 is one more than 12. We can also describe this using the word difference.
The difference between 12 and 13 is 1.
Now look at the powerpoint Count one more one less and then have a go at the activity sheet: Year-1-Autumn-Block-4-Step-4-VF-Count-One-More-and-One-Less.pdf
If you fancy some more number challenge, go on to the powerpoint Year-1-Summer-Block-4-Step-6-PPT-One-More-One-Less.pptx instead and then try the challenges on sheet Year-1-Summer-Block-4-Step-6-VF-One-More-One-Less.pdf
Well done number experts!
English Can I create a story map?
There are multiple ways to create a story map (see templates and examples attached below). The aim is to understand the characters involved, what happens to them and when and where it happens (setting). A story map helps you pick out the most important parts of a story (including the beginning, middle and end) and understand the flow or progression of the story.
Can you create a story map for We’re Going On a Bear Hunt? Story map PDF or Story Map Example PDF are the suggested formats to use, but I have also included a simpler visual sequencing style activity. Your child may want to write in bullet points or to describe the beginning, middle and end with longer sentences. Equally a vocabulary list may also be sufficient when accompanied by verbal discussion (e.g. Beginning; dad and two children, one baby, walking, grass, river. Middle; etc).
Please write notes along with each part of the story in your map. Include interesting words that you might not have heard before, use adjectives and label where they are in the story.
Take your time with this task, the next new English task will be set on Monday. If you finish and are satisfied that it is complete please follow a RWI video for sounds and spelling practice.
