I hope you had a lovely weekend and managed to get out in the sunshine!

In this afternoon’s catch up session we will be doing a little bit of maths so please have your whiteboard and pen ready!

Just to let you know, for those of you learning at home we have swapped our PE and Science afternoon sessions around. For those of you coming into school please continue to wear your PE kit on a Tuesday and Thursday.

We are no longer running the cuppa and a catch up session for parents on a Tuesday. As always, if you have any questions or wish to discuss things with your child’s teacher then continue to use email, we are always happy to get back in touch with you.

Maths

If you can’t make our live session at 9.15 please look at the activities below.

Counting in Tens and Ones

Look at the picture below.

Talk together about what the digits represent.  The 3 shows us that there are 3 tens. The 2 shows us that there are 2 ones.

ACTIVITY TIME:

Look at the numbers below. Draw the tens and ones that match the number on your whiteboard.

It should look like this…

Finally complete pages 7 – 10 in your Maths No Problem book.

There is also a great game you can play to help you consolidate your learning.

Art

This week in our art and harmony sessions we will be exploring colour-mixing. 

This afternoon is all about exploring what happens when you mix colours.

Try starting with the Primary colours – red, blue and yellow. These were the colours that Mondrian used in the paintings you looked at last week. Choose 2 to mix. What do you notice? 

Repeat this with each different combination of 2 colours.

What happens if you mix all 3 primary colours together?

You can use paint, pastels (oil or chalk) crayons, pencil crayons or even playdough to explore your colour-mixing. In school we might try making ice cubes with food colouring and dropping different coloured cubes into cups of water to see what happens…

If you do not have any resources at home you could try this interactive colour-mixing colouring activity by clicking on the link:

Have fun and do let us know what you discover as you mix!
