This week Kingfishers are thinking about counting objects correctly, recognising numbers and ordering numbers. Some of our Kingfishers have been using the language '1 more' and '1 less' when working out missing numbers.
In the Mud Kitchen some children have been following recipes for Stone Soup, Leaf Salad, Fir Cone Stew, and other delicious meals. When following these recipes the children have had to put in correct quantities into the mixing bowls.
During the night a number monster had visited our classroom and eaten some of our numbers. He left us a note saying that some of our friends had tried to stop him so he had tide them up (number monsters have to eat you know). The number monster said he would give us the keys to let our friends go if we could work out the numbers he had eaten (the missing numbers). The children worked well together and managed to win the key and save their friends.
Another activity the children have enjoyed was giving their friends some hair! The children had pictures of their classmates, but with their hair missing. They needed to identify the number next to the photo, and add that amount of 'pasta hair' to the picture.
Super work Kingfishes!
