Here we are English work
We have been reading the book Here We Are by Oliver Jeffers in school.
We have already looked at the pages about our solar system and our planet and the children have found out that we live on Planet Earth.
We have been learning about the different parts of our bodies and what they are for. This week we are looking at how to take care of our bodies, how special all the animals are and how much we have changed since we were babies.
Here is a link to a video reading of the book: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkcjKbbF9JA
Here is a link to a song that helps you learn the names of parts of your body.
Maths
Because we missed so much of Reception, we are consolidating our understanding of numbers and counting within 10. This week we will be counting forwards and backwards, counting one more and one less.
The videos are on the link below and I have included the worksheets that accompany the videos.
It would be lovely if you could do lots of practice- there are many things around the home that you can use to count: buttons, toy cars, pom poms, socks,food items like cheerios, steps up and down the stairs. Make it fun and do it often and it becomes embedded in their memory!
