Marvellous Maths in Reception 

This week, we carried out a range of activities for consolidation. We focused on comparing numbers,  while keeping in mind that each number is one more than the one before it. We practised representing one more and one less using concrete resources. Another area we focused on was combining shapes.  We found that more than one shape can be combined to make a new shape. E.g. two triangles make a square.

We also spent some time working on the formation of numbers 1-10. The children used the ten town rhymes to help them form the numbers correctly.

Activities: 

Adon: "I have 4 altogether" 

Matthew: " 5 is one less than 6" 

Aditi: " One more will make 8"

Layla: " I need one more to make 7"

Jayden: " One less than 5 is 4"

 

Ashton: " It's seal 6!" 

Key vocabulary: 

One more, one less, count, shapes, square, triangle, number

Nursery - Ideas for Snow Fun

 

Nursery - Snow Fun

Good Morning Nursery,

We hope you are enjoying the snow! Here are a few outdoor/indoor activities you could try.

1. Spray the snow - If you have an empty spray bottle add some water and food coloring and you can create your own Winter masterpieces by spraying the snow!

2. Add some diggers and people to the snow, you could even dig out some roads for your town. Or you could bring some snow inside and make a little snowy scene in a tray/pan.

3. Stack the snow balls! Could could count how many you can put on top of each other or you could line them up and make a snow caterpillar.

And when you are finished playing outside you could warm up inside and listen to the story of Elmer in the Snow. Have a lovely day.
