Hello everybody,
I hope you are all keeping safe and well. Please tell the children that I miss them so much and can not wait to see them again. I know it is a difficult time so just try your best with the work and it doesn’t matter if it’s just done on sheets of paper and not in copies etc just keep them altogether! Unfortunately a lot of the kids books are in school but we will do the best we can. Just try to use everyday as a learning opportunity with simple things around the home. I have put together some ideas and some work I would recommend you do with them. I would have been doing similar in school. I am available to contact by email on jamielee.gordon@stjosephsgorey.ie . If you need help with anything don’t hesitate to contact me. I would love for you to keep me updated and send me pictures of the work you are doing and creating.
Maths: Topic Number 10

-sing the song ten green bottles
-draw groups of ten objects: circles, squares, cars, cats , flowers anything you like
-make groups of ten: ten pencils, Lego pieces, toys, teddies etc whatever is available
– you could draw a number of objects for your child and have them colour in only ten of them
-write numbers 1-10

topic 2 : story of ten
– children chant the following daily :
0+10 =10
1+9=10

5+5 =10
6+4=10
7+3=10

10 +0=10
– daily practice for children to complete these sums. You can write them out and children can complete them. They can use objects to help eg 10 Lego, marbles etc or a number line
– play the game making ten: you call out a number for the child and they have to call out the other number that makes 10 eg you call out four and they say six back!
– complete sums of three numbers to make 10 eg 2+3 +5 =10
You can make some of the sums to number smaller than ten so they are not just guessing ten all the time eg 5+4 and 3+3+3
