Numbers!

We like to practise writing numbers to 20 on the mini whiteboards.   Sometimes it is tricky to remember which way the numbers go but we just keeping giving it our very best.  

Look how clever we are getting at writing numbers to 20 correctly.  Don't we look proud?

How many Letters are in our Names?

We have been learning about collecting and sorting information.  Today we found out in E6 how many letters are in our names.  Mrs Cooper showed us how to display what we found out on a pictograph.

A pictograph is a fun way to show the information we collected. 

We found out that 6 children have 5 letters in their name.

We found out that 1 child  has only 3 letters in their name.

We found out that 1 child has 9 letters in their name! 
Most children in E6 have 5 or 6 letters in their name.

We had a go at printing our names.  We tried our very best to write lovely letter shapes.  We are learning to hold the pencil correctly, and to form the letters correctly.  It is really tricky but we love a challenge.  
Next Mrs Graham wrote the letters in our name on coloured card.  We had to cut and glue the letters down in the correct order.  Have a look at our wonderful work!

Magical Maths

We have been doing lots of counting this week.  We are learning to count correctly.  When we count we use our magical pointing finger that we use when we read.  Sometimes we need to count again to check that we are right!

We played a game on our class projector.  We had to count the red buttons on the Gingerbread Mans coat to find out how many he had.  Then we matched it to the correct number on our number fan. 

We have put this game on our blog.  
You can find it by clicking on the numeracy tab above, or click below to go straight to the game.
