Math mania!

In preparation for next week's World Math Day I have been looking out some fun games for you.






Practice Math Facts here:

You can practice adding and taking away - good luck getting those basket balls in the net too.

I have also added some extra links on my favourite sites to include more fun places to practice Math.




Can you count in 2's?


Today we counted in 2's from zero. We looked at the hundred square to see which colour the numbers are when we count in jumps of two and we saw that they are all even and end in 2, 4, 6, 8 or 0.


How many chicken legs are there in total?
Count in 2's to find out!




 Practice counting in 2's here but be quick to catch the fish!

Can you see you Shark's friend is?


New week, new sound!

Our sound this week is 'er' as in mixer. We are learning three ways that this can be written in English; er, ir and ur.
How tricky. Remember to practice your spelling words a lot this week so you don't get tricked.
Practice making words with the  'er' sound here:

We're going on a dragon hunt!

Today First Grade wrote their own poem based on a much-loved story 'We're going on a bear hunt'. We used ideas and patterns from the story then made our own version with sound effects and very unique ideas. We're going to cross a volcano, an island and New York.
Watch the original version here:
