In the afternoon nursery we have been really busy working on lots of fun activities this week. We have been learning about airplanes and making paper planes. We have then been using our measuring stick to measure how far they have flown. We have also been using lots of mathematical skills, not just to measure distance but measuring out water in our mud kitchen. The children had great fun working with different coloured water and mixing them to make new colours. The children were using mathematical language to estimate how much water they had in their container, was it empty, half full or full. Could they share some with a friend? As you can see below, they worked together to solve problems, shared and supported each other, even working together to put the outdoor tap on as it can be tricky.
We have also been working on our fine motor skills and have been threading colourful pasta to make necklaces and working on our scissor skills.

CLIC Targets for P1 Term 3 Week 11
C – counting
For counting we are going to practise our number recognition and number formation. Use a number square or number line to point to a number and say it’s name. Can you write down any numbers you are asked? Use a whiteboard or paper to practise your number formation.
L – learn its
Learn its are number facts which we try to remember and quickly recall without working out the answer. We now have to remember the doubles to 5 –
1+1=2 2+2=4 3+3=6 4+4=8 5+5=10
You can also practise these at home. These facts are done orally and not written down at this stage.
I – It’s Nothing New
These are facts like our learn its but instead of asking What is one add one? we say What is double one?
Can you double 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5?
C – Calculations
This week we will focus on subtraction.
Can you take away and find out how many are left?
Use objects you have at home and make a group to take away from. Try using different amounts to start with and take away different amounts.
If you can manage using materials, try some mental subtraction, working out the answers in your head.
Here are some links to games which will help with this week’s targets.
