Mathematics -
This week we will be learning all about Number One.
When we learn about numbers we write them as a digit.
Just like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkA5EvrcdGA&t=27s
Now have a go at writing number one/1?
I would like you to look at some copper coins in your house, Can you find the coin with a 1 on it?
Put a 1p coin under a piece of paper
Gently rub the coloured tip of a pencil or crayon back and forth over the coin until the coin's design appears on the paper.
Can you see the number 1 and the word 'one'?
Activity One -
Have a look around your home for objects of different shapes.
Now have a go at drawing around them and seeing what their shape makes on the paper.
What can you recognise? Can you find a circle, a square, a rectangle, a triangle?
What else can you find? Can you now use those different shapes to draw me a picture?
I would love to see what you have drawn.
Activity Two -
Shakers are a fantastic way to explore sounds, rhythm and movement.
Have a go at making your own shaker.
Step 1. You will need a receptacle with a lid, almost any will do as long as it is non-breakable. Plastic drink bottles, crisp tubs, food boxes, cleaning product plastic containers (washed well!).
Step 2. The clean and dry container can then be filled with rice or lentils for a lighter sounding shaker, corn or chick peas for something a bit louder.
Step 3. Secure the lid with glue or tape.
Step 4. Decorate your shaker. Next you can decorate the shaker, which is part of the craft activity the children can really get involved with and love. Step 5. Enjoy making different sounds and music with your shaker.
