Look at my collection!!

I am collecting and recycling some of my cardboard and plastic materials to use for a special game ☺️

I just need 4 more long, round and empty items!

I wonder what game I am going to create at home...

I'll give you just one little hint... I also need a small ball to play with!

Hopefully soon I'll be able to share it with you!! 🤞

Exploring Coins!

During our Summer Term we will be exploring and learning about coins - what they look like, their value and even how to make collections using coins!

To help us explore what they look like first, click 'Sorting' on the image below. Start sorting 'one coin' at a time.

Share:

• What do you notice about the coins?
• Is there a way we can group the coins?
• How many different types of coins are there?

Albie's Adventures!

Thank you Albie for sending through photos of some of your amazing adventures!

It looks like you're having lots of fun with your pup!

What a creative den you have made! I wonder what you have inside your den? You could use that to read some special stories!

Mum shared that you are writing down the menu for your dinners - what a great idea!

Look at all your wonderful sounds😊You should feel really proud!

Looks like lots of fun role-playing superheroes with your brother! 

What special powers do you have?

I wonder what items you found in your amazing colourful trays...

You could even use the colourful trays to practise some of your letter and number formations.

Keep up the wonderful work!
Keep Smiling 😀

Number Card Matching ~ Let's Play a Memory Game!

Did I make a match below? If I didn't... how many more dots do I need?

Revisit our blog post 'Making, Counting and Matching Collections and Numerals at Home ~ Parent Tips!' to help you with creating your number cards and some other ways to use them!

Patterns at Home!

A pattern is a repeating sequence.

Do you remember when we explored patterns using our blocks at school?
We made a pattern like this...
orange, blue, green, orange, blue, green, orange, blue, green

I wonder what would come next if we continued our pattern?



Today I used lots of things around the house to make some patterns.
Can you retell mine?
I wonder what would come next in my patterns...

Challenge pattern:

Can you describe this pattern?
What could come next?
**there could be more than one answer😋**

Have a go at making some patterns at home!

I am looking forward to seeing them 😊

Artists at Work & Samuel's Great Response!

Hi Amazing Artists!

It's time to put your amazing artistic skills to paper.

Remember our game of 'I spy' from last Wednesday... today's Home Learning Task Card is putting what you can see out of your window to paper!

Can you spot the special friends I used?
I wonder why I added a 's' to the end of 'flat'...

Happy Drawing and Writing Reception!😊

______________________________________

Wow Samuel!!!

You are the first one to complete this task!!!

Well done😊

I can see a special friend in your writing... I wonder if Reception can spot it?

I love cats! I wonder what the cat you saw looked like... can you try and use your alphabet mat or your alphabet strip to describe what the cat looked like? Remember to use your 'Fred Fingers' to help you write the sounds you can hear.

Can't wait to find out! 🐱😺

How many can you see? ~ & Ryaan's Marvellous Mathematician Response!

Marvellous Mathematician's using your one-to-one counting and our number rhyme mat, write down how many:

• Pink flowers
• Purple flowers
• Flowers altogether (Can you write this as a number sentence using '+' and '=' ?)
• Clouds
• Dinosaurs
• Spikes on the red dinosaur
• Trees
• Rocks
• Legs are there altogether? (hint - one might be hiding!)

Share your answers with us at debeauvoirprimaryschool@gmail.com! 😃

_________________________

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Super counting Ryaan!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 

Well done for using '+' for your addition sentence to work out how many flowers there are altogether!

I wonder if you know or can research some information about the dinosaur that only has 2 legs...

Do you know what the dinosaur is called?

EasyPeasy!

I wonder what new game you can explore tomorrow!

Parents and carers, keep an eye out tomorrow for your weekly text message from EasyPeasy with your new weekly game and tips!

It has been wonderful to see lots of people accessing it and commenting along!

Well done to:

 Samuel, Ronnie, Shantay, Kal-El and Ryaan

Fun Friday ~ Sport Session! 🏃🏿🏃🏽‍♀️

Time to get our bodies moving again - It's our Sport Day!

Enjoy this short exercise - don't forget to check out lots more on the workout page on GoNoodle!

Happy Friday! 😊

Megabeast Brainstorm! 💭

Reception, as we prepare to investigate and learn lots about Megabeasts, I'd love to see what you already know! (Alfie, I can already guess that you are jumping up and down from excitement!!)

Use today's Home Learning Task Card to share what you already know, and what you want to find out about Megabeasts.

I look forward to reading your responses! 

Number Formation Rhymes!

Use our rhymes to practise writing your numerals.

You could teach your family them too!

Can you challenge yourself and write your teen numbers too? - remember all of our 'teen' numbers start with a 1!

Maybe you'd like to try to write numbers beyond 20!

Numberblocks - Quiz time!

Click on the picture below to explore some Math addition and subtraction problems!

These number sentences use our special symbols + and -

Remember:

+ is adding more - the collection gets better

- is taking away - the collection gets smaller

To help you find the answer, you could make some drawings, or use some materials at home like raisins, pasta, or even your counters from your Home Learning Packs!

For an example: using the number sentence on the picture, which number sentence equals 2?

I used some drawings to help me.

It's Time to Describe!

Today's Home Learning Task card is similar to an activity you can find this week on 'EasyPeasy'! 😊

Reception, I know we have played this many times and you have been super great at describing what it feels like and/or smells like - now try it at home!

Can you guess what is inside my bag?

It is round, red and juicy!
It grows on trees and can come in different sizes.
I can make it into a delicious pie as well!

Pancakes Anyone? Thank you Ryaan!!

On Tuesday, we had a Home Learning Task about sharing your favourite recipe.

Look at Ryaan's incredible Pancake Recipe!!

I definitely will be trying this on the weekend Ryaan - thank you so much for sending it through to us at debeauvoirprimaryschool@gmail.com.

I can see lots of our special friends in your writing, spaces and even a full stop!!
What a superstar writer you are 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Keep up the wonderful writing. I am so proud of you!!! 😊

A Book a Day with Oliver Jeffers!
