It is wonderful to see the pupils applying their counting, matching and sorting skills during play. This was led by the children showing their ability to develop their ideas and build on previously learned skills.

It started with one pupil laying the cards on the carpet to create a number line from right to left. The same pupil then added blocks to the cards.

The number line and blocks were left for some time before two more pupils added to it. They spaced out the blocks, made sure the correct number were there and then counted out gems for each number. Sorting, matching and counting through play.
