Hello Everyone!
We have really enjoyed looking at all of your pictures you have been sending us. Don't forget that you can send them via email, Twitter or Tapestry.
We are so PROUD of how hard you are working at home.
Enjoy your week 5 learning and we look forward to seeing what you get up to.
IMG_0982.MOVEach week we are going to focus on a different number and think about the different ways we can represent numbers. For example, you can represent numbers on your fingers, a dice, tally chart, ten frame and Numicon.
Why don't you watch episode 'Three' of Numberblocks to learn all about the number 3.
Can you find three things in your house?
Can you draw 'three'? You could draw dots, lines or use stickers to show this.
Can you represent three on your fingers?
Join in with one of our favourite number rhymes below and look at the numicon representing how many.
Use the attached numicon to represent different numbers. E.g. Can you show me number 3? Ask your child to count the circles on each piece of numicon to help them know what number it is representing.
Can you put the numicon in order? Can you find the biggest or smallest number?
t-n-2546545-number-shape-cutouts-english_ver_2.pdft2-d-008-gingerbread-man-template-design-your-own-_ver_3.pdfCan you design your own Gingerbread Man?
You can use the template to draw him or you could use some play dough.
How many eyes does he have?
What will he wear?
How many buttons is he going to have?
Listen to Mrs Cole reading the story 'The Gingerbread Man'. If you have a copy of the story at home, read it with your grown up.
Can you retell the main parts of the story? Who is in the story? What happens? We would love to see a video on Tapestry, Twitter or email.
Using the attached pictures, cut out the different events that happen in the story and put them in order.
I have also attached some pencil control sheets to the email, for you to practise your pencil grip and control.

Find a quiet space in your house to stretch your body as you copy the actions from the video.
Gingerbread Man race
Can you set up a Gingerbread man race in your garden?
Mark out a start and finish line. Can you hop/ jump / run to the other end?
Cut out the buttons on the bottom of the sheet. (If you have real buttons or counters you can use these)
Give your child a number 1-5 (showing them on your fingers can help recognise the number) and ask them to put the given amount of buttons on their gingerbread man.
E.g Can you put 3 buttons on the gingerbread man?
As an extension, if your child is confident to 5, extend up to 10 buttons.
If you have a dice at home, roll the dice and your child must recognise what number the dice pattern is showing, and then put this amount of buttons on the gingerbread man.
Count the buttons on to The Gingerbread Man.docx
Some questions you could ask your child whilst doing the experiment.
What do you think is going to happen to our gingerbread man in the water?
Why do you think the Gingerbread Man didn’t want to go in the water?
What happened to the Gingerbread Man in the story?
What has happened to our gingerbread man?
What words can you use to describe what has happened to our gingerbread man?
Rhyming words are words that sound the same. Mrs Cole has a puppet called Rhymie that always gets his rhyming words mixed up.
Watch the video of Rhymie and try and guess what he is getting mixed up with.
E.g. Rhymie wants to sit on a bear ...... He means he wants to sit on a chair. See if your child can guess the correct rhyming word to put in the sentence.
Can you find any rhyming items around your house?
You can then have a go at The Gingerbread Man rhyming activity which will be attached to the email.
The Gingerbread Man only likes to put rhyming pictures into his van. Cut out the pictures and find the rhyming sets to put in his van.

This week we are going to be talking about our family and who is special to us.
Talk to your child about somebody who is special to them. Can they tell you why they are special?
Ask your child to draw a picture of that special person and record what they say.
As an extension, can you draw a picture of your family?
Can you can make a map of The Gingerbread Man's journey?
Where does he run? What does he pass?
You could make a paper one or use some of your toys.
