We have been learning all about 2D shapes in maths.  Today we had to use rulers to draw them very carefully.  Here we are practising drawing straight lines on our whiteboards.  It was a lot trickier than it looked but we managed it!

Outside we have different challenges and activities for the Nursery children. This week the children are strengthening their hand muscles. They are spraying the fires with water bottles. We are talking about amounts to five and looking at the numeral that represents each.

Today we used the Base 10 to investigate partitioning numbers in different ways.

We have been learning to “count on”.

Here we are grouping objects into sets to make counting them easier.  We grouped them into 2’s, 5’s, 10’s and some of us even tried 3’s.
