Today we are recapping counting in twos, both forwards and backwards, and then using what we know to count in ‘lots of’ two. We can use arrays to help with this, and you will see that the items on the ‘pear pairs’ sheet are arranged in rows and columns. Use the PowerPoint to help you understand how arrays work, and answer the questions as you go. Don’t worry at this point if your child is a bit confused by the multiplication symbol – as long as they understand that they are counting in ‘lots of’ then this is the most important thing.

Once they are happy with this, move on to the sheets. Your child will probably find the first sheet quite simple, but be careful that they count backwards when they need to! You may just want to show this sheet on your computer and ask your child to go through it, just to check they are confident counting in twos: BusyAnt_y1_u10_w1_PG_E1
This is the trickier sheet using arrays: BusyAnt_y1_u10_w1_PG_E2

Today we are going to be putting our ideas together to write up our stories so far. Use the writing frame to insert the ideas that you have come up with over the last few days for your own fairy story. Hopefully the sheet should accommodate your ideas! If not, you may find it easier to use the sheet as a guide but write out your own story on paper. Hopefully, it is quite clear what to put on what line, but if there are any confusions then just let me know via email! fairy tale close the gaps
