The children have been practising the correct formations of numbers. They listen to stories, play outdoor and indoor games and practise writing them in sand and on whiteboards.
The children worked in groups of 2 to go out and collect lots of threes of things. They worked really well with their partners and created lovely displays of their findings.
They are practising their counting by playing games and through lots of play and everyday activities.
They have been doing ‘speedy skills’ as part of their morning routine which is a great way to get in a little bit more practise of how to write those numbers correctly.
last week they created Feathery Four who is the peacock in the story which is all about 4. He looks fabulous and the children were great at following instructions for making his tail feathers.
The children made jumps out of lego for Frisky 5 the kangaroo character to jump over.
The children made a swamp for Snappy Six which had 6 trees, 6 ducks, 6 rocks etc. This was great fun and super exercise for those little fingers.
They also have had ‘s’ for spaghetti, ‘t’ for tea to play in and ‘i’ for ink experiments.
Initially this needed careful cutting, designing, colouring and folding to make a little cone shaped mole.
