Being thankful

Gerald Giraffe is thankful that he can make his own ice lollies …

What are you thankful for?

morning register

Do the morning register - look at what day it is and see if you can find your name and practise writing it.

You can either ask mum or dad to print a copy for you to write on, or you can make your own register to use at home.

Math 10 May.mp4

Learning Objective:

To recite numbers in order 1-10 and backwards 10-1

You will need:

Numbers 1 - 10 written on a large sheet
Selection of objects to match to the numbers

Learning activity:

Using your fingers, count from 1 - 10
Using your fingers , count backwards from 10 - 1
Refer to the number line - ask your child to point to the numbers as they count 1-10
Refer to the number line, ask your child: What number comes after / before - 5/ 6/ 7/ 8/ 9
Support your child to match correctly the number of objects to the digit on the number line. Begin at 1 and move forward depending on child's interest up to 10.
Count backwards 10 - 1

Other ideas:

Practise mark making the numerals 5 - 10 on a piece of paper
Vary the objects used in the activity i.e. favourite toys / buttons / pens

some extra fun ;-)

Be a super drummer;

Turn pots, pans, tupperware containers etc upside down and use wooden spoons as drum sticks – encourage them to make as much noise as they can! (You might want to wear ear plugs)

Other idea;

Ask your child to copy easy rhythms which you give them, such as tap fast - fast, slow, fast - fast, slow / quit - loud, quit - loud
