We went on a number hunt at home and around the school and discovered that numbers are all around us.
Martha- “The numbers on the cupboard tells the ladies what cupboard it is. The numbers on the door let you know what class your in and so you know your age”.
Alice- “The numbers help you find your class.”
Samuel- “Numbers tell you what time it is”.
Thomas P- “You use numbers to score and if you don’t score you stay at 0”.
Anabelle- “The numbers tell people its their classroom.”

We went a trip to our local shops.
We had to get money to buy our messages.
Then we had to find the right shop! Is this where we buy fruit and vegetables for our soup and fruit/vegetable kebabs?
The children helped find the ingredients we needed from our shopping lists that we had done in nursery.
We all had pennies to pay.
When we came back from the shops we made homemade soup and vegetable kebabs.
We had real money in our role play shop. We were learning about different pennies and played a matching game.
It was tricky to match the coins.
We made coin rubbings.
The children got wrapped up and had fun in the snow.
Wow! I have loved reading about your adventures in Muddy Land. I can see numeracy, literacy and even singing skills in this fabulous place. What a lot of learning going on outside!
Great work using the BeeBots too! You are able to program a toy using directional language, what a fantastic skill to be learning at nursery. I think you should come along to P1 and show them what you have been learning, I am very impressed.
