Good Morning, Reception.
I hope you have had a lovely weekend. Well done for all of your hard work in Maths last week.
Today, we are going to play the memory game that we played a few weeks ago. Because you were all so good at it, today I am making it a bit trickier!
Choose 10 different small objects and put them on a tray or on the table so that you can see them. Talk about what you have chosen to help you to remember what is there.
Next, cover up the objects with a towel.
Now, can you remember how many objects are under there?
Can you remember which objects are under there?
Next, ask a grown up to take some toys away and show you how many they have taken.
Can you work out how many objects are still under the towel?
You can challenge yourself by saying which objects are still under the cover.
When you’ve had a few turns you can swap with your grown up. Take away objects and ask your grown up to say how many are still under the cover.
If you are finding it tricky to find the answers, try the activity with fewer objects until you get more confident. If you are finding it very easy, try the activity with more objects.
Have fun! I am looking forward to hearing how you got on.
Love from Miss Siswick.

Hi Miss Siswick, Juliana managed to remember all the objects that were taken away.
Well done, Juliana.
Hi, Marcus struggled a bit with this task. In 4 attempts (removing 2, 3, 4 & 5 items) he needed a clue each time but then managed to remember all the remaining items. We will need to do some more memory practice!
Dad is going to try having a go, let’s see if he’s any better!
Well done, Marcus. Keep practicing and it will get easier and more fun.
Hi – Rocco chose 10 different objects and we used an empty drawer
After the first attempt Rocco understood how to play and was very good!!
