NUMERACY FOCUS FOR THIS WEEK: NUMBER
We Are Learning To: Add and Subtract up to 10
SUBITIZING
We Are Learning To: recognise numbers to 10.
POSITION & ORIENTATION
We Are Learning To:
Give and follow instructions for movement that involve distances, directions, and half or quarter turns.
Describe their position relative to a person or object.
Students are developing an awareness of the position of an object in relation to another object. They will be using everyday language to describe where something is in relation to other things, for example ‘in front of ...’ ‘to the left of ...’ and so on. Direction can be described with words such as ‘toward’ and ‘facing’. Directions for movement are given in simple units that can be counted for distance such as 8 steps, and in simple fractions for turns such as half and quarter turns. As well as both following and giving directions for a series of movements, imaging the shape or endpoint of movements help in developing the spatial awareness and reasoning of students.
