Mini Maths

Let's practice saying the numbers in order, counting back from 10 and counting up to 10.

Children are more familiar in saying numbers 1-10 and so may need more practice to become confident counting back 10-1.

Let's use Fred Talk to play a game.

Draw a simple picture of a dog on a piece of paper.

Next, tell your child to point to:

• the dog's 'l-e-g'. Child says, "l-e-g, leg", and points to the leg.
• the dog's 'h-e-d'. Child says, "h-e-d, head", and points to the head.
• the dog's 'f-u-t'. Child says, "f-u-t, foot", and points to the foot.
• the dog's 'n-ow-s'. Child says, "n-ow-s, nose", and points to the nose.
• the dog's 't-ay-l'. Child says, "t-ay-l, tail", and points to the tail.

There are two new picture cards to learn today:

Fitting with our topic of 'Pets': cats love to drink milk!

Here is a recipe for 'Taste-it Tuesday' to make milkshake in minutes, without using a blender. You can mix your ingredients together in a large mixing bowl and then shake in a container/ jar that has a lid or even a drink shaker. You will need:

• Milk
• Ice cream
• Whipped cream, optional
• Optional: Flavoring (cocoa powder, chocolate powder, etc.), banana, strawberries or biscuit.

• Add the ice cream to your container.
• Note: mix any powder with milk first.
• Add milk. Pour your milk into your container on top of the ice cream. You want to have a ratio of about three parts ice cream to one part milk.
• Mash up your fruit or biscuits in a bowl before adding it to your container. This will make it easier to mix into your milkshake.
• Mash and stir with a spoon. Before you shake up your milkshake to get a nice frothy texture, take a spoon and give your ingredients a good mix. By mashing and stirring with a spoon you will distribute your ingredients evenly and soften the ice cream.
• Once you don’t feel many clumps of ice cream, and have a consistent texture, you can stop stirring and mashing.
• Shake your container for about 15 seconds. If you find your mix is still too solid, you can shake it again.
• Enjoy!
