Support you child drawing a picture of the members of their family. It might help if you have some photos they can use to help them. After, use the family names in different languages symbol sheet to label the drawing.

Activity 3 - My thinking

Starter: Watch the story ‘Give me Half’ by Stuart Murphy

Explain to your child that you are going to explore turning whole into halves. Just like in the story there is two of you. Have a few different items you could use paper for this or food/role-play food if you want.

Say that we need to make sure we share the items equally so it’s fair! If you using food (fruit etc.) model cutting it in half and having a piece each. Say the sentence together ½ and ½ equal one whole apple.

(If using paper model cutting the paper in half)

After, Complete the sharing food lunch box activity.
