They also grasped the concept of adding and subtracting today...it all started with us working out ages...when Mia is this age how old will Fred be ( add 2), Fred can pretty much add 2 to any number ( motivated by the excitement of being 2 years older than Mia each time!). Mia can do it too. Then we did the same with adding 1 using Mia and Freddie's friend Sophie who is 1 year older than Mia...so we did when Mia is 17 how old will Sophie be? They totally got it! They then wanted to do adding and subtracting in their workbooks so we did a bit of that...
We used the "5 little ducks went swimming one day" song to learn subtracting 1. They enjoyed that although Fred got a bit upset about the mummy duck loosing her babies so we had to add a "they are playing hide and seek" spin to it!!!!
To carry on with the maths theme the children played with wooden geometric shapes, making their own patterns and shapes.
We have also been busy making some Christmas presents for people but can't give you more details/pictures in case they read!
This morning the sun was shining beautifully so we went to a remote park ( so as not to spread hand foot and mouth- although Mia is symptom free now) and the kids had a fantastic time. They rolled down hills, played hide and seek and played on a giant slide. I brought along a little picnic which we ate there too in the sun. The kids played an in depth game rescuing their toys together! Love watching them play together!
The empty park!
They went down the slide countless times holding hands lost in a game of rescuing their toys!
