Pre-School- Maths- Give Me 1,2,3

In Pre-School the children have been developing their understanding with number recognition (1, 2, 3) and counting, one-to-one correspondence. The children used the post box to post the teddy bears into the post box, counting along the way. We rolled the dice to see how many bears we needed to post. The activity introduced the numbers 1, 2, and 3, and more when needed and counting the number of bears clearly. When the children reached their number of bears they had been asked for they worked together to see if they needed more or less to add in the post box.

Year 1 Maths - Comparing Capacity

In Year 1, your child is learning about capacity – how much something can hold. This lesson focuses on comparing the capacity of different containers using terms like 'full,' 'empty,' 'more than,' 'less than,' and 'the same as.' We used hands-on activities to make learning fun and engaging, helping them develop practical skills and a solid understanding of measurement concepts. Get ready for some water play (and maybe a few spills!) as we explore the world of capacity.

Nursery - Maths - Positional Language

During our Maths activity this week, Nursery class have been exploring positional language. The children built on their understanding of on top and under, repeating the position as they placed bear in different areas around the basket. Some children were also able to further their learning and introduced 'next to' and 'in front' to their vocabulary, representing these positions with bear. Well done everyone!

Reception - Maths - Number bonds

To support their understanding of number bonds to 10, the children today participated in a Numicon-based activity in small groups. This session encouraged collaboration, with some children taking on the active role of "Numicon detectives" to physically explore and identify the number combinations that total ten. To consolidate their learning, one child from each group was responsible for writing down the different number bonds they found. This multi-faceted approach allowed for both hands-on exploration and the development of recording skills.

Nursery - Maths - Literacy - Pattern Matching And Tracing

This week, Nursery class have been looking at different patterns. The children were given a pattern that they had to match with the ones shown on the board. They were then tasked with describing what they could see, zig zag, bubbles, rainbow, dots, cross etc. They were then challenged to trace their patterns on the board with their fingers, we have continued this learning in provision as the children have been exploring drawing their patterns at the craft table and on the ground in our outdoor area with chalk. Well done everybody.

Reception - Maths - One More Than

Today, the children engaged in a hands-on counting activity using ten frames and pom-poms while listening to the story Mouse Count. Each child was given their own ten frame and a selection of objects to use as manipulatives. As the story was read aloud, the children actively participated by adding one more object to their ten frame each time a new mouse was added in the story. They demonstrated careful counting, one-to-one correspondence, and an increasing awareness of number sequences. Some children excitedly anticipated the next number, while others carefully placed each object, checking their total as they went. This activity helped reinforce counting skills in a meaningful and engaging way, encouraging children to connect the story with mathematical concepts. The children enjoyed the interactive experience, showing confidence and enthusiasm as they filled their ten frames.
