Maths – ‘Growing 6,7,8’ – Week 3, Lesson 5

 

Lets warm up with Jack Hartman

 

This song is all about all about counting on in 1's from different numbers up to 20.

 

Counting On by 1's I Can Count From Any Number

 

Today, we are measuring time.

 

Growing 6,7,8 - Week 3

 

Once you have watched the video, please complete the follow up task below.

You are going to be measuring time.

First, you are going to see how many times you can write your name in one minute then how many cubes you can build into a tower.

You can also see what else you can do in one minute.

Think about which activities were quick to complete and which took longer.

 

Chinese New Year!

Today is Chinese New Year!

 

Listen to the Chinese New Year story:

 

Chinese New Year story

 

Can you re-tell the story to your grown up?

There are some pictures in the files section that you can put in the right order to help you if you would like to.

 

Find out which animal you are!

 

Ask your grown up to help you put your date of birth into the website below and see which animal you are.

 

Which animal are you?

 

Have a go at drawing your animal.

Each animal is said to have lots of different characteristics (like the things that you said made you special last week).

With your grown up, read what things your animal is said to have.

Do you agree with them?

 

I was born in the year of the horse.

 

You could see what animal your grown up is too.

 

 

Watch the videos to see how Chinese New Year is celebrated:
