This week we have enjoyed watching each caterpillar grow rapidly. We have also watched our broad bean seeds germinate! The boys have been very excited about these changes. They have written in their Bean Diaries and they have cut, sequenced and labelled the life cycle of a butterfly
In Maths we have been learning the terms ‘in between’ and ‘difference’. The boys enjoyed making human number lines and finding numbers that were in between numbers. They also used number lines to find the difference between two numbers.
To practise this at home, please lay out your number cards or use your laminated 100 square to find numbers that are in between other numbers e.g. write one number between 12 and 17. Similarly, use these laminated resources to find the difference between 2 numbers. The boys have learnt to count on from their starting number and to remember to count up to and including the last number. e.g. To find the difference between 5 and 10 count 6,7,8,9 and 10 on a number line. Or find/draw 10 objects and take away 5, how many are left?

We did a lot of counting over the weekend with Drake. We used the Hundred Square sheet to subtract and write down various calculations. Drake wants to count from 1 to 1,000,000 I said it might take a while 🙂
Well done for all your counting, Drake.
Mrs Starkey 🙂
