Maths:

We are investigating numbers 1, 2 and 3, finding number in our environment, exploring what 1, 2 and 3 look like, looking at number patterns and also finding out about the circle and triangle shapes as we discuss how many sides they have. In maths, we will use the number line and sing nursery rhymes to learn 1 more and 1 less. We will begin exploring 4, 5 and 6 and 4 sided shapes before Christmas too.
