Fantastic fireworks!

We have used words, actions, movement, dance, art and music to develop our thinking and ideas in order to create representations of our experiences...

THANK YOU to everyone who joined us at our Maths Workshop

It was lovely to see you all there!

The children gained such a lot from being able to "show and share" all the many things they are doing and learning during their time in nursery!

It is an absolute pleasure being part of your child's unique learning journey and your positive feedback and support is gratefully received.

We hope you enjoyed it! We did! :-)

Lots of our learning in 'Mathematics' takes place during daily routines as well as during adult led activities and through our own self-initiated play. Adults use a lot of mathematical language within many contexts to aid chikdren's developing understanding of vocabulary related to number, size, shape, space, position and capacity.
