Today, we are going to practice using positional language.
Can you talk about where the fly is in each picture?
You could also draw your own pictures or put your toys in different places and use positional language to describe them.
I am looking forward to hearing about and seeing your Maths work today.
Love from Miss Siswick. (I will be teaching at school so I will not be able to respond until later today.)
It would really help me if you could upload photos straight to the media file (instructions are here: sharing photos and files) as they get to me more quickly and easily as they don’t have to go via the office and my e-mail. Please can either your child’s name or face (but not both) be visible on any photos. Many thanks.
Nicolas told me the following:-
the fly is –
under the chin (horse),
Below / under the cow
Beside the sheep
Above the pig
Above the goat
Behind the cat
Above the dog
In front of the cockerel

Alexander looked at the pictures and was able to use the language to describe the fly’s position. He said: The fly is under the cow; behind the cat; in front of the cockerel.
We also used his Furby toys and an egg. He was able to use the language to describe the position of the toys and the egg. For example, he said the egg is between the furby toys.

It can be tricky, James. Well done for keeping on practicing.

Grace had fun looking at the kitten and the ball of wool.
She/we drew some furniture and she wrote the words with help. See picture. Also she hid “under” the chair and sat ‘on’ the chair.
Great positional language and great writing, Grace.
Good morning!
Aoife described the position of the fly in each picture and is now moving her toys around and describing their positions.
Well done for using the positional language independently, Aoife.
The fly is near the horse, under the cow, in front of the sheep, behind the big, over the goat, behind the cat, over the dog, in front of the rooster.
Great positional language, Eloisa. Well done.
Good practice today. Caspian Chose he’s bear for practice instead of drawing.
Well done, Caspian.

She enjoyed watching the busy spider story.
Well done, Fabiola.
