Over this topic we will be learning all about two of our favourite things...space and superheroes!
Do you know what people who travel and work in space are called? Astronauts!
Shall we find out a little bit more about astronauts Famous Astronauts
I wonder what it's like to live in space. You could watch this video to find out What is it like to live in space?
Use these cards and sort them into two piles. What they need and what they don't need. Can you explain why or why not?
Can you think of anything else an astronaut needs? Draw them down on some paper or write them down.
This week we will be looking at numbers beyond 10.
What do you notice in the picture above about the Numicon shapes?
Is there a pattern?
Can you see that you are adding 1-10 on top of the number 10 Numicon shape to create the new larger numbers?
Can you guess how we might make the number 21
We will play a maths game in class. Using flashcards and Numicon, the children will have to build the correct number.
Can they do it before the timer runs out?
Watch this Numberblocks video. How is 13 made?
