Maths – Light or heavyOver the past few weeks we have been looking at length, we are now going to focus on weight. Weight is the measurement of how heavy an object is.

Maths – Counting

In class we have used subitising as a counting strategy. Remember when you subitise you know how many there is without counting. Try to use this strategy to say how many counters are in each ten frame. You can write the answers in your jotter.

Task 1 – Ask an adult to drop the loose parts, one at a time, into the cup. Listen carefully - how many did you hear? Pour the cup out and touch and count to check if you are correct.

Repeat with the second cup, how many in this cup? How many did

following clocks.

you drop all together? Can you write down the adding sum that you made? For example, 4 + 3 = 7. Repeat several times.

Challenge – Try using 3 or 4 cups and adding the amounts. How many altogether? Write down the adding sum. For example:7 + 1 + 8 = 163 cups:

4 + 3 + 5 + 2 = 144 cups:

Repeat several times! Enjoy!

At home find a pair of objects and decide which one is heavier. You could test a shoe and a toothbrush, test a book and a piece of paper, what else could you test?

So, Jesus was born in a stable.Share what you think Mary and Joseph are saying to the Inn keeper.Draw a picture of the stable where Jesus was born.
