I think Mrs Steffenson is having a...

My gorgeous class had fun predicting the gender and name of Baby Steffenson today. 

We incorporated this activity with a Maths lesson on collecting data and recording the information on a graph.

It was interesting to see their predictions... I wonder who will be right? 

After the Maths lesson we completed a follow up writing activity where children were asked to predict the: 

•Gender of the baby

•Name of the baby 

•Size of the baby 

•Eye colour of the baby 

•Hair colour of the baby

They were also given the opportunity to draw the baby.

The children had a lot of fun coming up with their answers and I had a lot of fun discussing their answers with them!

Not long to go now!

Ladybug Maths 

Activity: Firstly buy a packet of red plastic/paper plates (or paint white plates red). 

Then draw a line down the middle of the plate using a marker pen (this is the wings).

Use round coloured stickers for the spots.

Draw a head template on red card (children can draw the eyes).

Discuss numbers 1-10. This is a good

opportunity to discuss 'Friends of 10' if your students are ready for this concept.

Have the children put 10 spots on their ladybugs and staple the head on.
