Weather Calendar

I have been meaning to post this for ages and keep forgetting!
We did a weather calendar as we began learning about seasons. I thought I might do a couple more through the year in order to demonstrate the differences between the seasons but next time we will do the calendar for about two weeks as that was long enough to exhaust Lamb's attention as you can see from the calendar...when the Mummy drawings start to appear again...
I printed out some summertime pictures which we cut out and glued on...well I cut and he glued then we documented the weather. This is the first time I have ever guided anything he has been drawing and noticed through doing this that suns began to appear in his drawing a lot!

Introduction to sums


I simply printed and laminated the numbers, addition and equals symbols, used some little wooden ladybirds that I already had amongst my craft things and cut out two leaves from green felt. I either a)Put the ladybirds on the leaves and get Lamb to find the matching numbers then add them together and find the correct number to complete the sum or b)Put the numbers out and get Lamb to count out the correct number of ladybirds per leaf then add them together.
At the end I get him to read it back to me "Two plus One equals three".
