Hello Everyone!

Have a great week boys and girls!
Each 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 'Five' of Numberblocks to learn all about the number 5.
Can you find five things in your house? Take a photograph of a set of five objects to send to us at school.
Can you draw 'five'? You could draw dots, lines or use stickers to show this.
Can you represent five on your fingers?
Can you make a rocket from a toilet roll tube?
You could go even bigger and try to make a rocket from some recycling in your house.
As part of our literacy work we have been learning about alliteration, where words have the same sound at the beginning e.g. ‘Brave Ben bounced the ball brilliantly into the baboon’s bed’ ‘Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper’
‘She sold seashells on the sea shore’
Practicing alliterative words is part of becoming aware of the similar sounds at the beginnings of words. This is an important skill for children to learn before they begin to read and write.
We like to make alliterative silly soup at nursery with some very silly ingredients! Can you make some silly alliterative soup at home? Encourage your child to say the words and emphasise the initial sound to help them hear that the beginnings of words are all the same.
Can you sing the song to the tune of 'Old McDonald':
At nursery, we made some soup
EIEIO
And in that soup we put a (butterfly, bee, bear, bug, button, beetle, banana etc.)
EIEIO
Could you make your very own alliteration soup at home, using a bowl and some objects from around the house that all begin with the same sound to share with me on Tapestry, Twitter or email?
Find the song ’5 Little Men in a flying saucer’ and learn to sing it.
Use toys, pictures or your fingers and record yourself for Tapestry or Twitter.
