We have been practising counting and have enjoyed trying to balance on one leg while our friend helps us count how long we can do it for before we wobble and put our foot down! Some of us balanced for a long time and needed lots of counting! We have also been counting claps with our eyes closed which was really tricky but we succeeded!

We have used number blocks to help us this week, and this week number one has helped us. We have looked at large groups of number one number block, and groups of dots, and tried to count them. It was really tricky and we kept missing some out or counting them more than once!

We know that if objects can be moved we can place them in rows to count them better. If they can't be moved, we can draw circles around them, tick them, cross them out or draw lines under them to make sure we count correctly by not missing any out or repeating them.

We have worked hard to develop our counting skills this week.
