Spring 2
In PE this term, we are learning about Striking and Fielding. In today’s lesson we learned that striking teams are trying to score points and fielding teams are trying to stop them score points. This session was about under arm throws. The children needed to point their hand where they wanted the ball to go and step forward with their opposite foot to their throwing arm when they throw. To catch they need to use two hands to collect the ball and watch the ball when it is coming towards them.
In this lesson, the children were learning how to count objects more efficiently by grouping into tens and ones. They spent time practically counting groups of ten from objects including Dienes, counters and cubes. After grouping objects into tens practically, children practised counting pictures of objects and circling each group of ten. It is important that children recognise that a 2-digit number is formed by counting the number of groups of ten for the first digit and the ones left over as the second digit.
