Last week we were very lucky that it did not rain (as it usually does on Wednesday's) so we were able to get out into the sand! The children took some number shells with them, which they created birthday cakes with! A cake was given to me with 75 on it - (I am sure I really don't look that old!)
After finishing with the cakes, the children worked together to create a rather large sand hill (as they called it). They decorated it with numbers. I went along and added a few alphabet letters... just to see what would happen.... and yes, they were quickly removed! I was very impressed how the children recognised that they were not numbers and therefore did not belong on their sand hill.
If you are wondering, the children did make a second hill, and they decorated it with alphabet letters!
