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.
Autumn walk
We have been learning all about the signs of Autumn. We then used our senses to go on an Autumn walk and describe what we see, feel and hear. The children loved exploring the school grounds! We collected leaves, sticks and brought them back to explore in the classroom.
We were very lucky to…
Phonics - Body Percussion

Maths AL - Comparing 0 and 1.
We have learnt the numerals 0 and 1. All children are confident at recognising the numerals and we have now looked at comparing them. In numbers and patterns the children have been looking at how to represent the numbers in different ways, like with our fingers, objects and dots. We then sorted…
Fine Motor Tracing
In ducklings we have been developing our fine motor skills and learning how to use tweezers. Most children have now found their dominate hand and have been experimenting with different grips on tools. This supports the muscle growth in our hands in preparation for writing.
We carefully picked…
