The children explored the number story of 4 through practical, hands-on activities. They used natural materials such as twigs and tree slices to build different number sentences, discovering all the ways to make 4. As part of their outdoor learning, the children also created a number line to 20 using numbered tree slices. They counted out the correct number of twigs to match each number, reinforcing their understanding of number value and sequencing. This active, practical approach supported their understanding of number bonds to 4 while also strengthening their counting skills and number recognition to 20.
