On this sunny day, we took advantage of the shade that the woods provide and we played out there for nearly an hour this morning.

We used “tapping sticks” to count up and backwards as well as starting with different numbers.  We used them to count the syllables in our names.

Then we counted and collected 10 sticks each.  We had to measure them against our arms to make sure that they were no longer than the space between our fingertips to our elbows.  Then we created pictures with them.

We also had a number hunt and created our own number line.  In between all that, we climbed some trees and trekked around the pitch.

Have a look.
