For children to rewrite the story of ‘Old Bear’ by Jane Hissey :) 6 scenes from the book and two blank pages for children to add in their own ideas. The Teacher Traveller

Counting on. An often enormously difficult skill to ask of children - to begin counting at a number that is not one and to sometimes count objects that are not visible. I have used this ‘counting on cookies’ pack to successfully teach children this concept and the idea is simple. A number of cookies are selected, counted and placed under the flap of the oven. The temptation to recount these cookies is automatically prevented as the cookies are hidden. Instead I teach the children to place their hand on the oven, say the amount of cookies that are in there, then continue to count the rest of the cookies on the plate! This lays the foundation for more advanced skills such as manipulating larger numbers, faster calculating and learning to apply this skill to other areas in learning in fluid and flexible ways.

Greater than and less than snowmen! Three levels of differentiation: Green boarder snowmen: Children to count the number of buttons then compare both the numbers. Blue boarder snowmen: Children to count the number of buttons, complete the addition sentence then compare the totals. Red boarder snowmen: Children to work out both addition/subtraction sentences then compare the totals. Enjoy! The Teacher Traveller

The children in my class made this rather adorable wooden snowmen gifts for home <3 I showed them all how to measure and record how tall they all were, I cut each plank of wood to the children’s heights, the idea being that each Christmas their families could take them out and see how much they have grown! Poem in the pack (1 X A4 and 1 X A5) reads: “Lean this snowman against the wall, To remind you when I was this small, Fingerprints made the nose and eyes, This snowman is just my size, So take him out each Christmas and see, I’m not as little as I used to be.” Pack also contains 5 A4 display posters describing the process of making this project! :) The Teacher Traveller
