Children in Need
Today we celebrated Children in Need. We discussed why we are celebrating and how different people celebrate.

We recognised all of the numbers 0-3! We then used the leaves to represent the value of the number.
Great work Ducklings!
Ordering Numbers
The children have been working very hard to explore numbers 0-3 in depth. We have recited, counted, subitised and now we are ordering the numbers. The children began by reciting numbers in sequence and then we worked together to order them correctly.
