Starter

Show two groups of counters:

🔵🔵🔵

🔴🔴🔴🔴

Ask:

  • What can you see?
  • How many blue counters are there?
  • How many red counters are there?
  • How many are there altogether?

Can counters be used to represent the buckets?

What might a number sentence look like to show this?

Can we use a part-part-whole diagram?

Let's learn:

 

 Guided Practice

Use objects and part-part-whole models to solve these together:

  1. What is 3 more than 4?
  2. I need 7 books but only have 4. How many more do I need?
  3. How many more than 3 is 7?
  4. I have 3 red balls and 4 blue balls. How many balls do I have altogether?
  5. What is the total of 3 and 4?
  6. If 7 is the whole and 3 is one part, what is the other part?

Encourage children to:

  • Use counters.
  • Build the calculation.
  • Draw a part-part-whole model.
  • Write the number sentence.

Main Activity (Outdoor Learning)

Hoop Part-Part-Whole Challenge

Give each group 3 hoops arranged as a part-part-whole model.

Children collect natural objects from the outdoor area (leaves, sticks, stones).

Example:

  • Part = 5 leaves
  • Part = 2 sticks

Children place the objects into the hoops and:

  1. Count each part.
  2. Find the whole.
  3. Write the number sentence on a whiteboard.

5 + 2 = 7

Challenge: Can you make a different calculation that has the same whole?

 

Independent Task

Complete addition questions using:

  • Counters
  • Tens frames
  • Part-part-whole models

Examples:

  • 2 + 5 =
  • 4 + 3 =
  • 6 + 2 =
  • 1 + 7 =
  • 5 + 4 =

 

 

 Grammar 

To use capital letters

Can you sort the sentences on your table into capital letters and no capital letters. 

Orally plan and rehearse ideas for an innovated story

Today we are going to practise our new story.

We are going to create 2 stick puppets to help us retell our new story. Can you draw your new characters, cut them out and place them on sticks. 

Can you read your story using your story map and puppets. 

 

 

Can we use Robert Gillmor to inspire us when creating different textures and lines using a brush?

Discuss:

  • What do you notice?
  • What lines can you see?
  • How has he made the feathers look different?
  • Which textures can you spot?

Model creating:

  • Thick lines
  • Thin lines
  • Curved lines
  • Short strokes
  • Repeated brush marks

Main Activity (25 minutes)

Children practise creating different lines and textures using paint and a brush.

Create a class texture chart:

  • Soft feathers
  • Fluffy feathers
  • Wing feathers
  • Grass
  • Trees

Children then create their own bird picture inspired by Robert Gillmor, using a variety of brushstrokes and textures.

Plenary (5 minutes)

Talk partners:

  • Which brushstroke created the best feathers?
  • Which texture are you most proud of?
  • How did Robert Gillmor inspire your work?

 

 

Can we make an instrument to measure and record the weather? 

“Why is it useful to measure the weather?”

Discuss the following

 

  • 👕 To know what clothes to wear
  • 🌧️ To know if it might rain
  • 🏃 To help plan activities
  • 📊 To see how the weather changes
  • 🔎 To spot weather patterns

 

What types of weather they can think of to record? 

How might measure temperature? wind? rain or cloud cover?
