World Book Day - Elmer Day

 We have had a wonderful day of learning today both in school, and at home. We started the day by joining the World Book day celebration event and loved listening to the authors and illustrators talk about their books. We then took part in the guided draw sessions with the illustrators and created our own World book day bookmark characters.

Here are some photographs of our activities.

Story time 

Here a lovely social story that has been written to explain to children about why they had to stay at home, why it’s now safe to return to school, and addresses any worries they might have about returning to school. I hope you find it useful.

Thank you for all the fantastic support you have given your children over the last nine weeks of home learning. You have all done a brilliant job and we can’t wait for the children to be back with us on Monday.

Maths - Number 20 - The two tens tango

Click here to watch the episode on BBC iPlayer 

In this episode we meet Number 20 for the first time. As well as teaching us to count to twenty. It also teaches us how 20 is made of 2 tens and no more, and how the number 20 shows us this.

It shows how 20 can be split into 2 lots of 10.

It can also be split into 10 lots of 2.

Today I would like to watch the episode then work on the following activities:

• Count forwards to 20
• Count backwards from 20 (many children find this tricky)
• Count out 20 objects consistently, both in straight lines and random arrangements.
• Can you order the numbers from 0-20 independently using number cards ?
• Can you write the numbers 0-20 in order?
• Count to 20 in 2’s (use the We are the even numbers song)
• Can you divide 20 into equal groups eg 2 lots of 10 etc 
• How many different ways can you find?

 Afternoon activities

This afternoon we are going to have an Elmer afternoon.

I would like you to dress up in your brightest coloured or patterned clothes and join the Elmer Parade. There will be a prize from the special person box for the person with the most patterns and colours, and Lego cards for everyone that joins in with the fun. You could even add accessories in your hair, paint your face, or make yourself an Elmer headress to wear for the afternoon. Please add your photographs to Tapestry.
