Six Dinner Sid


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I am in a bit of a panic, being observed on Monday 22nd June and my focus is numeracy. The children are very interested in animals at the mo and we have just been on a farm trip - the animal they were most interested in was the farm cat, so i thought i might base the lesson on the book Six Dinner Sid.

 

This is what I have come up with so far

 

Problem solving -

If Sid has six dinners a day, how many dinners does he have in a week? How many days in a week?

1 more / 1 less - he eats 4 dinners then has 1 more ...

Collection of pet bowls and pet food with numbers stuck on

Role play vets - giving sid his medicine

 

I need lots more play based activities - my class is mixed reception and year1. Any tried and tested ideas would be greatly apprectiated. :o

Thank you

Catherine xD

How about a shape activity using different shapes to make the cat and his dishes....ovals, circles, rectangles, triangles etc

Oooo I like that one Chocisgood!

 

How about sharing cat biscuits (you could you use Bonio's) between the 7 bowls for the week, how many in each bowl?

 

Tenuous link I know but ...

 

Decorating plates (pattern) for Sid to eat off of (Creative)

Hiding Sids dinners, Sid has to find them (positional language)

What is your favorite dinner? Make a bar chart

Using paper plates children to use collage to make a dinner for Sid (i.e. wool for spaghetti)

Of course, that wouldn't be a problem - how do I find it? I am not very good on this website so will need a step by step guide to help me find your survey! :( Thanks again for your ideas. Catherine xD
