Let's make some aliens!

For our Maths activity, we set up a Do-it-Yourself alien where the children could add different features to the alien such as eyes, nose, mouth, teeth, arms, legs and antennae. After adding the different features, they were encouraged to count the number of features they added.

Sophie was able to match match some of the numerals and quantity correctly. She also know that numbers identify how many objects are there in a set. Sophie is also beginning to count objects by saying one number name for each item.
