We hope you have been enjoying the pirate themed activities that we have suggested for you this week. Here are a few more to keep you busy.

We are missing you all lots and lots and have been amazed by all the new skills you are learning. Keep up the great work!

 

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/5-7-years/money - have a look at the different money games on Top Marks. https://www.topmarks.co.uk/Flash.aspx?f=PriceListsv5 is Miss Porch’s favourite! Which game is your favourite to play?

 

If you have a piggy bank that can be easily opened you could have a look at the different coins. Talk about the shapes, colours and any writing or marks on them that you can see.

Can you sort the coins? Maybe you choose to do this by colour or by value.

 

Lay some coins out in front of you, name them and feel them. Put them down and your grown-up could mix them up whilst you close your eyes. Keeping your eyes closed pick up a coin, feel it carefully and guess what it is. How did you know?

 

You could roll a dice and have a go at making that amount using the coins that you have. You could even roll two dice as an extra challenge! How many different ways can you make the same amount?

 

Create a shop by labelling your toys and games. Invite siblings or your grown-ups to come and buy some things. Remember, if you are the shop keeper you will need to work out how much money your customer owes you and how much change they need.

 

Pay for your snacks and drinks over the day.

What is sitting on top of the rock?

What are the seahorses in between of?

When I was one I ate a bun, the day I went to sea…

When I was two I ate a chew, the day I went to sea…

When I was three I needed a wee, the day I went to sea….
