Good morning,

You can select the chart you want – it goes up to 119.

Today have a go at a number challenge with your grown up or sibling as your partner. Choose a number then your partner can count back from that number painting the squares as you go. You can choose your colours. Can you count back quickly – time yourselves, can you beat your partner?

Then choose another number and count back from that number. Challenge yourselves by counting back in jumps of 2’s.

Good Morning Copper Base,

This game is great fun! Have a go at the Number bonds game.

Good Morning Copper Base,

The Base is a strange place without you all. I hope you are enjoying doing some leaning at home.

Try some counting fun with this interactive hundred square – you can splat the numbers as you go. Today why don’t you count in 2’s splat the numbers with different colours. Don’t forget to check your class blogs for other maths activities from your classrooms.

Message from Mrs Smith:

Good morning everybody! I am sitting in a very quiet school and missing you all desperately so I thought it would be a great idea, until we are all back together again, to run our Monday morning assemblies through the blogs for now. I will send you a message every Monday morning, share the theme for the week, you can then share your creations and thoughts with me directly and we will then celebrate these ideas together on the blogs on a Friday afternoon – just like we do in our Celebration Assembly! Please remind your grown-ups that they have an email to help them to support you with your assembly job each week.

So, for this week I wanted to share with you a story that was in the news a few days ago about a project that school children across the country are now taking part in. 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-51988671

While you are reading it with your grown-up, I want you to remember the message that we share in our Pledge assemblies …

Tell your grown-up about the difference that we can all choose to make and how we do this in school as ‘agents of change’. I thought this would be an ideal project for us all to join in with and that your ‘Golden Ticket’ task this week could be to make a rainbow that can be seen from your home along with a message to make your neighbours smile.

Many of you will be able to tell your grown-ups what ‘Interdependence’ means but don’t worry as your grown-up can help if you have forgotten. Along with pictures of your rainbows this week I would also love to hear of any good news stories that you have found linked with interdependence that you can now see so clearly all around you.

I can’t wait to see your photos and to hear your stories (your grown-up will help you to share these with me). It will be almost as good as the smiles and chats we share on the gate! I will reply to any messages that come in and I will share all the highlights in our celebration on Friday.

Take care Team Damers 🙂

A fun activity for all the family. We love making things like this at school and investigation their texture and how they feel. Have a go at home!
