Week 1:

This week we are learning all about number three! As with the previous numbers we are exploring the quantity by using objects to sort, share and count out three. We have been using ten frames to see the visual representation and know that if no more objects are added but the current objects are moved to different spaces, the quantity still stays the same.

Week 2:

This week we are learning about the shapes circles and triangles. We have learnt about their properties and used our vocabulary to relay this information during discussion in our play. 

We will also be focussing on positional language and being able to understand and use the words on top, under, next to, behind, in front and between in context.

Week 3:

This week we are learning all about number four! As with the previous numbers we are exploring the quantity by using objects to sort, share and count out four. We have been using ten frames to see the visual representation.

Week 4:

This week we are learning about the shapes squares and rectangles. We have learnt about their properties and used our vocabulary to relay this information during discussion in our play. 

Week 5:

This week we are learning about number five! We have been exploring how to create the quantity and matching this to the numeral. We have also been counting one to five and then back down five to one. This has helped us with correctly sequencing numbers!

Week 6:

This week we have been continuing to learn about number five! This week we have started to look at number bonds to five and be able to recall them. If we are unsure how, we have learnt how to use a ten frame or our fingers to help us. We have also started to look at using the vocabulary part, part, whole. This is where 2 numbers (2 parts) are combined to create a new total (whole)

Week 7:

This week we have been using a number track to help us count forwards and backwards. Once we felt confident doing this, we then used it to help us work out one more and one less than a given number.
