Maths Week in Nursery

10th Oct 2025

This week, as it was Maths Week, we focussed on counting songs at mat time.  One of our favourite songs is Five Little Ducks.  We are getting really good at counting to five in the correct order.  We also got some ducks with spots on their back.  We counted these and put them in the right order.  Another song we did was Three Little Witches.  We practised the actions and putting up the correct number of fingers as the witches appeared.  We sang Five Little Pumpkins and loved how the pumpkins were all feeling different emotions!  Our favourite ones were the happy pumpkins, as they were laughing!  We had pumpkins in our sand tray for us to fill and empty.  We also had large pumpkins on the mat for us to play with.  We had another activity were we had to count the dots on a pumpkin and then find the one with the corresponding number to match it.  Our last song of the week was Five Little Ghosts and this may just have been the favourite! The video attached shows off their great singing and enthusiasm!  During outdoor play, some of the boys also made themselves some microphones and launched in to a performance of it! Possibly a boyband in the making!  There was great number work and counting skills on show in nursery this week.  Well done boys and girls!
