Reliable counting, by Mrs Burgess
Date: 21st May 2025 @ 4:11pm
This week in maths the children in Reception have been focusing on reliable counting. We had a special visitor~ Matt the monkey who needed some help with counting reliably. The children have been telling Matt how to count reliably. We had some fantastic ideas including putting the objects in a line and saying the number name when touching the object.
Matt brought us some musical instruments which we have been using in maths. We have been tuning our ears into counting the sounds that we can hear. The children then had a go at choosing an instrument to play whilst their group had a go at counting the sounds.
