Numbers

Sharing the story

*Share the story Alien numbers with the children and ask them which part the enjoyed the most and why.

Movement

Suggest that the children try out the actions performed by the characters in the story:

* Make a jigsaw like Rizwan.

Encourage the children to experiment, first working with one hand then with two hands.

Then try doing the jigsaw with a friend, making a total of three, then four hands. Develop the children's understanding of addition as one hand after another is added to help piece the jigsaw together.

* Run around like Dad. Run at different speeds, dodge one another and stop on a designated command.
