Numbers 1- 5

1, 2, 3, 4, 5...

Many pupils are able to count by rote. This does not mean they understand what they are counting. It is important that when pupils say "one" it means one object, and so on. This number knowledge requires matching things to amounts. Pupils need to be given the opportunity to count things in their environment. 

Woodpeckers are learning to recognise and write numbers from 1 to 5, and mach them to the correct name and set.

As always we begin with a songs  ("Five little ducks" and "Five little monkeys").

Then, we were playing interactive games on Smart board.

We were playing Number Hands game.

Then, we were making Number Hats.
