What's the difference between ONE and LOTS? We will show you another activity you can do at home to learn how to differentiate between these amounts. Look at the video section below. Some children will be able to sequence numbers from 5 or more so please look out for your learning packs- there will be resources to help you with this at home.

MATHS

This week we are learning between ONE and LOTS. How about putting lots of cutlery on one side of the table and just one on the other... Can your child try to do the same? You could repeat this activity with any everyday objects: shoes, pasta, potatoes, toys, etc.

MATHS

This week we are learning about position and direction. You can do simple exercises, such as turning your head LEFT and RIGHT, jumping UP and DOWN and moving FORWARDS and BACKWARDS. The most fun we had in class was a spinning movement. You can go ROUND an ROUND in a playground or spin some everyday objects on a smooth surface. Why not have a box with a teddy and place him in different positions.
