We
would like you all to practice your blending this week. Here are some Power Points you can
use when you’re practicing.
Count forward and backward 1-10. Then try starting at different numbers e.g. start at 4 and count forward to 10 or start at 7 and count backward to 1
Ask your child before and after questions from 1-10. What number comes before the number 3? What number comes after the number 6?
You could also ask your child what number
comes between two numbers. E.g. what number comes between the numbers 3 and
5.
Can you write these words (you can try more than once if you want!)

to explore the water and filling the containers. Encourage them to measure, for
example, how many cups of water it would take to fill a bowl.

Reading: New Tricky Word – here
We are going to learn a new tricky word this week! The
tricky word is here.
Can you pick out the word here in the worksheet? Remember
to check the sentences at the bottom of the page too!
Can you put here in a sentence?
Please explain to your child that the words here and hear have different meanings!
Oral Language: The Life of the Farmer
Watch the song about the life of a farmer here:
After your child has watched the video, ask them the
following questions:
1.What different jobs does the farmer/children do?
2.Do you think a farmer has an important job? Why/Why not?
3. What jobs would you like to do? Why?
4. What jobs would you not like to do? Why not?
Maths: Before and After & Number Formation:
Please be careful when the children are writing their
numbers that they start the numbers in the correct place and use their number
rhymes to help them.
Keep practicing counting up to 10 and back from 5 (or
beyond this if you child is able)
Where you child is able, start off by doing some oral
work on the number AFTER.
Follow this up with some written work like the
picture here.
The next day do lots of work talking about the number
before. Again, if your child is able, try following this up with some simple
written work like below.
Finally, some children might like to be really challenged
to try to figure out the number before AND after. This is tricky but lots of
children would be able to give it a go!
Remember to give them lots of praise when they get an
answer right!
Alternate each day, so one day work on what number comes
after and the following day
work on the number before.

Maths: Target points game.
Draw some numbers on a footpath/ back yard with chalk or
on paper on the kitchen floor.
Talk about which numbers are bigger/ smaller - Give each
child playing a handful of pasta shells/ small stones and take it in turns to
try and throw them into one of the circles. Wherever your marker lands, you get
the number of points in that circle.
Try giving your child something to keep track of how many
points they have e.g. a piece of lego for each point they get. Spend some time
at the end counting to see who got the most points.
