Maths Week in Nursery!

17th Oct 2025

Nursery took part in Maths Week.  There was lots of learning!

Our dinner routine - matching the coloured cup with their placemat and setting their table. 

Shapes - Sorting 2D shapes by shape, size and colour and counting how many. 

Large wooden shapes - making a pattern or building.

Making patterns using leaves and pasta shapes. 

Pumpkin sorting - largest to smallest, heavy and light and counting how many. 

Threading shapes and following a pattern. 

Forest School - searching for long and short sticks to make 2D shapes. We measured sticks to make sure they are the same size when making a square and 2 long and 2 short for a rectangle. Children collected the sticks and we counted the children to make sure we had enough sticks for each child. 

Water Tray - talking about empty and full and making a pattern using pumpkins and cauldrons. 

Mark making shapes in shaving foam. 

Board game - Snail race - rolling the dice, recognising the colour and count how many you move have to move on.
