We started a new unit called ‘Alive in 5’ and are perfecting our understanding of the numbers 0-5. On Monday we met zero and over the next 2 weeks we are going to be learning all about the numbers up to 5, what they look like, 1 more or less than a number and subitising. Today we sorted the numbers into groups by recognising different ways that the numbers can be presented. Great work Class 1!
