Staying Safe

For today's home learning, I would like you to think about how you can stay safe. I want you to pretend that you were Little Red Riding Hood and you were going on an adventure to visit your grandma. I want you to think about what Little Red Riding Hood should have done when she saw the wolf in woods. If it was you, would you have stopped to talk to the wolf or would you have continue on your adventure to go to grandma's house. 

 

I look forward to hearing what you think Little Red Riding Hood should have done on Tapestry.

Maths - Comparing Numbers

For your maths home learning today, I would like you to have a go at comparing different numbers. I would like you to create groups of objects and items from your home, you can create groups of up to 10 items. Once you have created groups, I would like your grown up to take different amounts from each group and them compare them.

 

For example:

Which group is biggest? 
Which group is smallest? 
What group has the most? 
What would happen if you added one more to the smallest group?

 

I look forward to seeing all your hard work on Tapestry.
