Now, it is time for another yoga adventure! This time we will be following a story called 'Kickapoo the Kangaroo' .

Maths Time
This week, at Maths Time, we are going to practice lots of different Maths skills. Today, we are going to practice our counting skills, so make sure you switch your counting brains on but first..  let's play a quick game of 'Guess Our Number'. 

1. Miss Dodgson is thinking of a number that is one more than 4. What number is she thinking of?

2. Mr Kirkbride is thinking of a number that is one more than 9. What number is he thinking of?

3. Miss Dodgson is thinking of a number that is one more than 13. What number is she thinking of?

4. Mr Kirkbride is thinking of a number that is one more than 17. What number is he thinking of?
 

Next, look below at the pictures of the two football nets. The football players have been scoring lots of goals. We want you to use your pointy finger, to count how many footballs are in each net. 

Challenge: Tell your grown up which football net has more goals (more is the biggest amount). 

Now, can you count the goals in these football nets? Don't forget to use your pointy finger.

Challenge: Tell your grown up which football net has less goals (less is the smallest amount).

Super Challenge Time!
There is a problem with the two football nets below.. the football players have scored no goals. Your challenge is to identify the number at the top of each football net, and then draw this amount of footballs inside. You can do this challenge in your busy books copy the football net into your books first!

Story Time
Today's story book is called 'The Best Dress Ever.' On planet Doop, Zid has big plans to make the best dress ever. Follow the story as his friends help to make his new dress even better!
Why don't you draw your own 'best dress in the world' in your busy books, then show it to somebody in your home and see if you can make it even better! Click the link below to read today's fantastic story.
