MATHS

Lesson 1

We are learning about counting money accurately

Give your child some 1p coins. Ask them to count them. Encourage them to count in 1s then 2s to check they have counted accurately. Talk about the values of the 2p coin. Can they exchange 1 pence coins for the 2 pence coin? Work with your child exchanging 1 pence coins for other value coins such as 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p and £1.

Once your child is confident in exchanging coins and understands that the number on the coin is equivalent to the same number of pennies give them a small pile of mixed coins and ask them to use a 10 square to add the value together. Repeat the activity with different coins. You may want to start with two coins and then build up the number.

Lesson 2

We are learning about counting money accurately

Remind your child about the value of coins in pennies. Talk to them about the value of a pound coin being 100 pennies. Tell them that they are going to look at notes and will be counting notes.

Provide your child with the photocopies of notes and discuss the value of each. Ensure that they can recognise them consistently and understand they are higher value than the coins. Encourage them to use a 100 square when counting their notes.

Lesson 3

We are learning about counting notes and coins

Revisit counting coins and notes ensure they are confident with counting coins and notes.

We are not using decimal notation yet so we are recording as pounds and pence. E.g. £5 and 65 pence.

Give your child some coins and a note. Ask them to add them up and record their value like the example below.

Repeat with different values of coins and notes.

Coins and notes cut outs.

100 square.

We are learning about the events leading up to Dunkirk and the feelings of some of the people involved in the evacuation.

Introduction

Listen to the story of The Little Ships by Louise Borden https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyYMmVcxQS8

Ask your child to share their thoughts on the story. Encourage discussion by asking Do you think this story is true? Do you wish you could have been there? What if you were the little girl, or a boy who went on the boat trip? How would you have felt? Tell the them that the story is based on a real event that happened in WW2.

Share the Operation Dynamo resource, which explains the events leading up to Dunkirk. Emphasise that the British soldiers were trapped on the beaches with the Germans advancing and German planes flying overhead. Tell them that the British fishermen sailed their boats to Dunkirk to rescue the British soldiers.
