Chat on the Mat Time
Our new topic, for Chat on the Mat Time, is called 'On the Farm'. Today, we are going to learn about the animals that live on a farm. Let's start today's activity by telling a grown up the names of the farm animals you can see below.    Parents: If your child needs support with this, say the animal name and ask them to repeat after you. 

Super learning! Now, let's play a game called 'What am I?'. We will give you some clues, and you have to guess what animal it is, good luck.

1. I live in a field. I like to eat grass. I am milked in the barn. What animal am I?

2. I live in a sty. I like to roll around in mud. What animal am I?

3. I live in a stable. I like to eat hay. I am very fast. What animal am I?

4. I live near water. I waddle when I walk. Humans like to feed me bread in parks. What animal am I?

5. I live outside. My coat is fluffy and warm. What animal am I?

Scroll down to the bottom for the answers.

Maths Time
Let's start today's Maths activity by counting in 2's all the way to 20.
 Parents: if your child needs support, say the number and ask them to repeat after you.

0    2    4    6    8    10    12    14    16    18    20

Well Done. Today, we are going to practice our subtracting skills again, so you will need your take away brains switched on. Like yesterday, we are going to use a number line to help us find the answer, but today, we are going to use a number line up to 20, so we hope you are ready for a big challenge! 
We have done the first one for you  17-6= 
Remember, we find the first number from the sum (17), and put a circle around it, like this:

Next, we look at the second number in the sum (6), and then, we jump backwards this amount of spaces along the number line, like this:

The number it lands on, is the answer to the sum so, 17-6=11

Now, its your turn.

16-4=

11-3=

19-5=

20-8=
