Home Learning Challenge – May half term
Miss Bruce, our student teacher, has set you a home learning challenge for the holidays. All participants will receive a certificate.
Numerals in the environment
The environment plays a key role in supporting and extending children’s development and learning and within the environment there are many opportunities to discover numbers.
Over the holidays, help your child to find numbers in the environment: this can be in the home or when you are out and about. You could take photos, make a collage or draw a picture to record what you find.
Numbers can be found on everyday objects such as a telephone, tape measure or a clock, as well as when you are out for example, vehicle registration numbers, road signs and house doors.
How many places can you find numbers, and which numbers can you see?
Ideas:
Why not go on a number hunt around the house or on a walk: how many different places can you find numbers?
What numbers can you see on your journey? Identify numbers while walking, travelling in the car or on the bus.
Can you find specific numbers? Why not play a game to see who can find a certain number on price tags, displays etc. while at the shops?
Find page numbers in books or magazines: what other numbers can you find?
One important rule to remember if you are joining in with the home learning challenge is – to HAVE FUN!
Please don’t feel that you have to join in with the challenge. We know that school holidays are an important time to rest, relax and enjoy being three and fours years old (and more!!)
