Hammer and Nails Numeracy

4th Feb 2026
In Ash class today, the children created pictures using hammer boards. The children used tiny hammers and nails to create wonderful pictures on cork boards, demonstrating their unique artistic flair. They not only replicated patterns with precision but also engaged in discussions about names and properties of the shapes they used. This hands on activity enhanced their understanding of shape and space, as well as pattern recognition and fine motor skills.
