Beechwood Primary School

Foundation Blog – 21 October 2016

This week began with the children starting group activities alongside short bursts of Maths inputs. We have learnt about number formation using rhymes, which are on display for the children to refer to during their independent learning.

We have also looked at ordering numbers, matching a quantity of objects to a given number, one more/ one less than a number and active Maths e.g. Can you do 5 star jumps? It would be fantastic for the children to consolidate this learning during half term by practising these concepts at home. You could look for numbers and shapes in the environment or ask your child to help with the washing by counting how many socks.

We have also looked at the topic of ourselves and the children have thoroughly enjoyed painting self-portraits which will be on display in the classrooms very soon. During the topic class discussions the children have talked about their body, their senses, their family and their friends.

It was lovely to see the children participating in Wear it pink day to raise money for the Cancer Now charity.

Have a lovely half term.
