Daily practise reciting numbers to ten and then to twenty. Count backwards from ten.

Introduce the number 8. Use a ruler or number line to teach place value:
One less than 8 is 7
One more than 8 is 9
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Tuesday:
Make a fire engine collage using assorted shapes. What shapes will you need? Can you name the shapes? can you describe them? For example; has the shape got corners? How many sides does this shape have? Are the sides the same length or different?
Well done for today’s work!
Wednesday:
Cut out the fireman's ladders and stick them in the correct order starting from the shortest to the longest.
Ask your grown up to help you paint some paper plates in red to represent fire and write random numbers on the plate to ten. Can you peg blue pegs to match the number?
