Good morning Giraffe Class.

Today we are going to do a super math activity. I know you are all amazing mathematicians so I know you are really going to enjoy this activity.

Let’s start today……

The Rattletrap Car

It was a hot hot day. Junie and Jake and Poppa and the baby wanted to go to the lake but will they make it in their rattletrap car?

  • What part of the robot did you help to make?

  • Can you remember to walk and talk like a robot?

Where in PDO School is the dinosaur hiding today?

Is he waiting for all the children to come back to school so he can play hide and seek?

Gerald is digging up dinosaur bones today. He is having a super time using the paint brush to carefully brush the sand from the bones. What type of dinosaur bones do you think he found?

Math

Learning Objective:

To use some language of size in context; small / little / big / large

To see similarities in sizes and to use language of size to describe objects

You will need:

  • A selection of real objects with a big and little version, ie big and small teddy / doll / car

Learning activity:

  • Look at the different sized teddies with your child. Compare the teddies using the language of size - use body language to give visual support. “This teddy is big, this teddy is small”

Other ideas:

  • Introduce a selection of different sized objects. Look at small / medium / large

  • Extend language of size to include comparisons i.,e, smaller/smaller than/bigger/bigger than

  • A tool for measuring: ruler /strip of paper / piece of string / ribbon - measure you family members. who is big / small / bigger than / smaller than /biggest / smallest

  • Gather some family shoes together and compare size

I hope you had a great day of learning! Enjoy the rest of your day and I will see you all tomorrow.
