Autumn 3

Comparing quantities.

Reception Pengwins will work in a pair and will roll a dice to determine how many objects they can collect. They will compare their amounts and will be asked questions.

Who has more?

Who has fewer?

                                                     How many more/less?

                                                     How can you prove it?

Ordering and Making Numbers.

Year 1 will be looking at ordering numbers up to and beyond 20. We will then be using Numicon and other resources to make numbers within 20.

How can I make 10?

We will be continuing with our Den building for Tedi Twt. Last week we tested materials to see if they were waterproof and chose what we wanted to use.This week we will be making our own shelters for him.

Literacy

This week the children will be starting to look at instruction writing. The children will be acting out the instructions of 'How to Make a Juicy Rainbow Sandwich' and using time connectives correctly.

In preparation for our instruction writing, you could ask your child to give you instructions for a simple task e.g. brushing your teeth or getting dressed in the morning. We will be concentrating on using time connectives such as First, Next, Then, and Finally. 

Literacy

This week the children will be writing a set of instructions on 'How to Colour Mix Purple/Green/Orange'. The children have been learning how to colour mix primary colours in school and this week will write a set of instructions for the children in Pod Pili-Pala to follow.
