For the past two weeks we have enjoyed Maths as a topic.

Activities we have done include, alongside other child initiated activities:

• focused on fast recognition of up to 3 objects
• counting up to ten objects
• focused on finding the total of a group of objects up to 10
• experimented with symbols and marks
• compared quantities, such as more and less
• looked at naming and recognising the quantities of 2d and 3d shapes
• sorted items by size, length, weight and capacity
• looked at patterns in the environment and completed a repeating pattern
• made maps of where we live and described familiar routed
• looked at one more and one less than an amount up to ten
• looked at positional language *enjoyed playing outside
• lots of counting games, songs, puzzles and rhymes
• spotting numbers in the environment
• enjoyed lots of painting, gluing and drawing
• there was lots of small world play with cars, garages and dinosaurs!
• lots of dressing up fun
• jolly phonic songs and singing nursery rhymes

Please see the links below for home learning ideas related to our topic.

Best wishes, Julia, Claire, Hannah, Lisa and Adam
