This term we have been learning all about ourselves. We have discussed how we are the same and how we are different. We talked about who is in our family, and how families can be different. 

In literacy, we have shared the following texts..

• Each peach pear plum
• So much
• The little red hen
• Room on the broom 

In maths, we have been learning numbers to 10! The children really enjoy learning a new 'Number of the week'. Each week we....

• learn what the number looks like
• practise writing it
• practise counting out that amount
• find ways to make it
• find 1 more and 1 less

The children really enjoy watching 'number blocks', a BBC television series aimed at introducing children to early number.
