Week 1:

This week we are continuing our learning about numbers and are focussing upon number two! We have used number blocks to help us see that one more than one is two and that number two always following number one in the sequence of counting! We are now exploring number two further by sorting, matching and counting out two. We have also been understanding that when we add one more the quantity changes and we get a bigger amount.

Week 2:

This week we are learning all about number three! As with the previous numbers, we are exploring the quantity by using objects to sort 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 3:

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. 

Week 4:

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

Week 5:

This week we have been learning about 4 sided shapes. We have been looking closely at squares and rectangles. We have looked at their properties and are beginning to use this vocabulary to describe them. 

Week 5:

This week we are learning all about number five! As with the previous numbers, we are exploring the quantity by using objects to sort, recognise and count out five. We have been using ten frames to see the visual representation of five and looking more closely at how five can be made by combining different amounts together. eg. 1+1+1+2, 4+1. 

Week 6:

This week we are consolidating our number knowledge with numbers one to five! We have been using ten frames to practice counting out amounts and to find one more and one less than a given number. We have also been learning about our number bonds to five and how to work them out and record them.
