We have learnt the number 5 this week. We sang different number rhymes which gave us the opportunity to show number up to 5 on our fingers. 
The children have become confident with finger representations and loved singing ‘5 Little Ducks’ ‘5 Speckled frogs’.

We got creative by making our own Christmas/winter cards this week. We used a sponge to print paint on the front cover, creating the outline of a snowman. We then used glue to add finer details to our design. Inside our cards, we wrote a message to our loved ones. We can't wait to take them home…
