Subtraction for Early Years

Subtraction for Early Years

(0)
During subtraction week, we carried out 3 activities. We used the ‘Playdough Smash’ laminated sheet to make blobs of playdough up to 10. Then we used whiteboard pens to write subtraction number sentences. When children took numbers away, they smashed the playdough then counted to see how many were left. We used the purse and the 10 frame to pay for items in the shop. We started with 10p (1p in each square) the we took pennies away to find out how much we had left. We used the differentiated worksheets to cross out the objects to see how many were left.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar Class Assembly Script

(0)
My Reception children spent half a term learning about caterpillars and butterflies. We learned Makaton actions to the Very Hungry Caterpillar. We watched a makaton video on YouTube. My class wanted to use some of the actions for the minibeasts, and then chose their own actions for other parts of the story. We learned Makaton actions for minibeasts - Mr Tumble CBBC video on YouTube. We painted the story of the Very Hungry Caterpillar. We used this script which includes the songs that we used. We found all of the songs on YouTube and learned them during snack time. The class assembly lasted 10-15 minutes.

Year 1 Science - Hearing/Ears This was a part of our science topic ‘The Senses’. We completed these 3 differentiated worksheets/anticipation grids to activate prior knowledge. Half way through our topic, we completed the ‘expanding statements’ as children had a better understanding of hearing. We then completed the beaker experiement. Children predicted what the beakers would sound like when struck when they were full and empty. We had been learning about low and high pitch.

My Reception class enjoyed the story 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt'. We came up with our own story, and changed the words to 'We're Going on a Bug Hunt'. For our class assembly, we learnt Pie Corbett actions to retell the story. We also sang the Ugly Bug Ball song. It took us about 20-25 minutes. The parents and children loved it!
