Today’s weather is brilliant for mud. Have a look in the folder for lots of ideas to develop fine/gross motor and mark making skills. Don’t forget to send us some muddy pictures via the email.

This week we are going to be working on counting objects and recognising numbers. Counting to 10 orally. Using positional language. We have broken the work down into a day by day timetable for you. You can choose to do the activities each day like we have explained or you can choose when you want to do them.

Monday Great active game to play indoors on a wet day!

We’re Going on a Number Hunt! Ask an adult to write numbers 1-6 then to 10 on pieces of paper then hide them around the room. As you find them, say the name of the number. Can you put them in order? Which numbers are still missing.

How many different numbers can you find in your home? Have a go at recording them. Either using the numeral or using marks to represent them.

Wednesday Count the animals.

(In folder. You don’t have to print the sheet. You can record the numbers on a piece of paper.)

Thursday Play again. Repetition is key for children learning new skills. Choose different things to use this time.

Positional Language Learn / practise using prepositions (behind / in front / under / on top / next to) Use soft toys or small world toys to demonstrate what the prepositions mean, there are 3 steps to understanding and using the prepositions... 1. Parent to put teddy under the chair and tell child “Teddy is under the chair” etc. 2. Ask your child “Can you put teddy behind the chair?” 3. Your child gives you instructions about where to put teddy (you can deliberately get this wrong at times to test their understanding).
