Maths

Let's practise our number formation to 20 today first.
Use your laminated number sheet (Fountains)
or you can find a worksheet at the top of the page. 

We're going to look at something new today, called 'doubles'. 
Sometimes I call them 'Number twins'. Double means two of the same thing.
Can you find any 'number twins' or 'doubles' on your body?

Watch this clip to learn some more! To join in, you will need ten bricks.
If you have a 'portable' mirror...even better!

Now practise making your own doubles. Use a mirror if you have one.
Be a 'Doubles Detective'. Can you make all the doubles up to 5 and count them?

You will find lots of fun worksheets at the top of the page,
to practise making your own doubles. 

Here are some fun ways to practise making doubles!

             

Here's a story to finish the day. It's called Henry and the yeti!

This week's project

The project this week aims to provide opportunities for your child to learn more about the world’s rainforests. Learning may focus on the plants, animals and insects that inhabit the rainforest, food that originates there and weather patterns. It could look at plants and animals that can be found in the garden too.
Which Animals Live in the Rainforest? 
● Watch this video about animals in the rainforest. Can your child tell you about some of the animals that live in the rainforest? Can they remember any facts? Can they describe the animals?.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p011mwwt
● Ask your child to make their own explorers outfit (e.g. binoculars, sunhat, backpack) and head out to the garden or on your daily walk. What creatures can your child find? Are they similar to any you might see in the rainforest? Take photographs.
Draw a Picture of a Rainforest Animal on the Computer.
● Ask your child to draw a picture of a rainforest animal. Can they use computing software to recreate their picture? Try Paint.
Play the Animal Jungle Quiz.
https://www.sheppardsoftware.com/preschool/animals/jungle/animaljunglegame.htm
● Listen to the clues. Can you match the clue to the correct animal?
Create your own jungle. 
Drag the animals onto the picture. Where do you think the animals should go? Why? i.e. on the ground, in the trees…

● Use collage to create your own rainforest animal using recycled materials from around the house. Share your finished creation to inspire others on Twitter at #TheLearningProjects.
Make an Animal Home.
● Create an animal home e.g. a bug hotel using things from the garden. Use a plastic tub or cardboard box. Ask your child what the animal will need in the home in order to survive.
STEM Learning Opportunities #sciencefromhome Rainforest Materials
● A rainforest has lots of tall trees and grows in warm countries that have a lot of rain. People use the wood from the trees to make paper and furniture. They also take lots of ingredients like sugar and oil to make food. Here you can find a list of food and ingredients that grow in rainforests.
https://kidszoo.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Rain-Forest-Products.pdf
● What plants can we find in the garden? Can you name the different parts of a plant? Stem, leaves, branches, roots, flower? Try using some of the material found in your garden to make something useful. For example, a nature paint brush. Additional learning resources parents may wish to engage with White Rose Maths online maths lessons. Watch a lesson video and complete the worksheet (can be downloaded and completed digitally).
