In numeracy the children were making amounts with their fingers. They looked at how to make amounts up to 5 in different ways. They were learning that swapping amounts around leads to the same answer, eg. 2+3=5, 3+2=5. They practised some of these addition sums in their addition workbook. They have been learning to identify and order coins and have been using the till and coins in the class Fairtrade shop and using ‘Topmarks’ website to order coins on the smart board. At home they can practise putting coins into order from least amount to the most.
