Counting – e.g. count things of different sizes, count things that can’t be seen e.g. sounds and actions. 

• Count toys, pairs of socks and other things in the house and garden.  Listen out for the correct pronunciation of the teen numbers.
• Count forwards and backwards to 10 and then 20 – starting at different numbers. Counting rhymes can help with this.
• Order numbers to 20. 
• Discuss numbers that are one more than and one less than a given number, e.g. five is one more than four and twelve is one less than thirteen.
• Play dice games and find the number of things represented on the dice. Use two dice – find out how many altogether and then match the correct number of objects.
• Play track games ~ 
  • Discuss counting on… I am on four… I am going to count on 5… Ensure counting on starts on the next number.
  • Discuss counting back… I am on six… I am going to count back 3… Ensure counting back starts on the previous number.

Partitioning

Explore a range of ways to partition a whole number by identifying the pairs of numbers that make a total. This can be done by physically separating a group, or constructing a group from two kinds of things

• Lego towers – When you snap your tower into two parts how many bricks do you have in each part? 10 Lego bricks in a tower could be split into 1 and 9, 2 and 8, 3 and 7 etc. Make towers of smaller numbers than ten and larger numbers than ten as appropriate.
• Put things in two containers in different ways, e.g. beads in two bowls or Playmobil people in two boxes. How many are in each box? Can you do it a different way?
• Make a number with two kinds of things. For example, make a fruit skewer with five pieces of fruit, using a bowl of bananas/strawberries to choose from. Make more than one. Are they the same? How are they different?
• Bunny Ears – Using your fingers like bunny ears. “With two hands, show me five fingers. Can you do it in a different way? OR “Show five fingers altogether with another person.”

Addition (add, more, plus, sum, total, altogether) 

• Combine two groups of objects to find the total by counting all the objects… (How many altogether? ) Use toy cars or Lego or Playmobil people, stones in the garden and sticks. What else could you use?
• Count on to find the total – four add four… count on 5,6,7,8 to find the total.
• Solve problems by adding two single digit numbers – make up addition story problems, e.g. Five fish were swimming in the pond and then five more appeared. How many fish are there altogether? There are ten fish altogether.
  You can draw pictures for your number problems (draw five fish in one colour and five fish in another colour).

Subtraction (subtract, take away, fewer, less, left)

• Collect ten objects and practise taking a certain number of objects away. Use language such as ‘I have 10 stones. If I take 5 stones away, how many are left?’
• Notice and talk about subtraction in everyday life – taking clothes off a washing line/cookies disappearing from a plate
• Solve problems by taking away a single digit number from another single digit number – make up subtraction number stories, e.g. Nine frogs were sitting on a log and then five of them jumped into the pond. How many frogs are still on the log? There are four frogs still on the log.
  You can draw pictures for your number problems (draw nine frogs and cross out five frogs.)

Please see Tapestry for occasional examples of the activities mentioned above, as well as ideas and tips from school staff.

• Find out about an animal of your choice. Maybe a pet, bird, favourite animal, marine creature, minibeast. What type of animal is it (mammal,reptile, bird, fish, amphibian, invertebrate)? What does it look like (features) ? Where does it live (habitat)? What does it eat (carnivore, herbivore, omnivore)? What is its superpower? Can you draw its lifecycle? Can you make it with junk?
• P4C: If you could be any animal what would you be and why?
• Twinkl link: Science: Animals Including Humans Year 1 Unit Home Learning Tasks

Design and Technology

• Create / invent a new animal that has never been seen before? Tell us about it – features, habitat, fascinating facts.
• Design and make a hat using materials you find around your home. Look at historical pictures of different hats for inspiration. What are the hats made from? Are some materials better than others for making hats? Who wore the hats? Why do people wear hats? 

Geography: Find out about a country of your choice

• Use books and the internet to find out interesting facts about your country of choice.
• Make a fact file, write a story inspired by your country of choice, or write a postcard home. 
• Look for your country of choice on Google Earth. Google Earth is a great programme for exploring the globe.
• Find out how to say ‘hello’ in a different language.
• Cook and eat food from your chosen country.

Remember, these are only suggestions. If you have any other lovely ideas, don’t forget to share them on Tapestry. We look forward to seeing what you get up to. Have fun everyone!

DT: Design and make a healthy and tasty fruit salad

• Decide which fruits you are going to use- think of fruits and flavours that you know you enjoy eating and which might work well together but also try to be adventurous! 
• Select 5 fruits or more. Choose a range or textures and colours so that your fruit salad is appealing to look at. 
• Pick a fruit juice, such as orange
• What is the difference between fruit and vegetables? Fruit contains the seeds of the plant. Why do we eat fruit?
• Use seasonal fruits where possible and discuss what this means with your child. 
• Practise safe cutting techniques with your child. ‘The Bridge Hold’ is demonstrated in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdXjLJNWu44
• ‘The Claw Grip’ is shown here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVJUD8SSQRA
• While making: Can you describe each fruit? Taste? Smell? Look? Feel? For example: Sharp, juicy, squishy, sweet.
• Evaluate it: What did you enjoy doing most? What skills did you learn? Did you like eating your fruit salad or not? Why? How would you improve your fruit salad if you made one again? 

RE: What makes some places sacred to believers? 

• Talk about what the words ‘sacred’ and ‘holy’ mean. What makes some places and things special? Do you have any things or places that are holy and sacred?
• Look at photos of different holy buildings (churches, mosques, synagogues) and objects found inside them. What are the objects for? Example- church: altar, cross, crucifix, font, lectern, candles and the symbol of light; plus specific features from different denominations as appropriate: vestments and colours, Stations of the Cross, baptismal pool, pulpit; synagogue: ark, Ner Tamid, Torah scroll, tzizit (tassels), tefillin, tallit (prayer shawl) and kippah (skullcap), chanukiah, bimah; mosque: wudu, calligraphy, prayer mat, prayer beads, minbar, mihrab, muezzin.
• Talk about why it is important to show respect for other people’s precious or sacred belongings (e.g. the importance of having clean hands; treating objects in certain ways, or dressing in certain ways). 
• Notice some similarities and differences between places of worship and how they are used, talking about why people go there: to be friendly, to be thoughtful, to find peace, to feel close to God. 
• Use the idea of community: a group of people, who look after each other and do things together. Are holy buildings for God or for a community or both? Talk about other community buildings, and what makes religious buildings different from, say, a library or school.
• Explore how religious believers sometimes use music to help them in worship e.g. Christians and Jewish people sing Psalms, hymns and prayers. Music can be used to praise God, thank God, say ‘sorry’ and to prepare for prayer. Muslims do not use music so freely, but still use the human voice for the Prayer Call and to recite the Qur’an in beautiful ways. Can you listen to some songs? How do they make you feel?

 Geography: study of a non-European country (Malawi in Africa)

• Explore human and physical similarities and differences between Minchinhampton and Malawi (download here).
• Of course, you also have the option to compare Minchinhampton with another country or place of your own choosing if you would prefer to do that. If you are feeling really interested, you could always compare a couple of non-European countries!

We will still be looking forward to your Padlet updates and emails with photos of all the brilliant “extra” ideas you have had. Don’t forget that Padlet is also a great place to get ideas from other children and from us!
