THINKING SKILLS AND PERSONAL CAPABILITIES – Thinking, Problem Solving and Decision Making
In May we are learning to:
Maths Week 2021
We used the bowling game to practise our counting and addition skills!
We went shopping as spooky characters in the 'Potion Shop'! We created our shopping lists then used 1p and 2p coins to buy items for our potions.
We like to work outside for Numeracy too! We played counting games and hunted for shapes. We made shapes with natural materials.
We are learning to play lots of numeracy games!
If I go for a walk, what will mother nature leave for me?
If I go to the beach, what treasures will the sea wash ashore for me?
If I go to the woods, what will the winds blow in?
What will the fairies sprinkle or the giants drop?
I’ll POP them into my bag!
