This week Ducklings class have been teaching the class puppet to find out how many things he has in his basket. We reminded him he has to make sure he touches each object as he says the number name, to make sure he doesn’t miss any objects out or count them twice and finally he needs to stop when he gets to the last one and that tells him how many.
