We will read some counting stories together. Here is one favourite Halloween counting story.

Can you count how many pumpkins there are in the story? Use your fingers to represent the number. Do you always need to count, or can you subitise?

The children will work in small groups to find certain amounts of different items: 3 animals, 3 sticks, 3 children, etc. 

Do you need to count? Do you need to touch something to know how many there are? What happens if I jump 3 times?

 Lets have another read of our topic story- Pete the cat goes to the supermarket

Using a selection of role play food or real food from your kitchen play the shopping game. Repeat the phrase 'I went to the supermarket and I bought…. (pick an item)' the next person continues repeating the same phrase and adding a new item but also adds what the previous item was.
