You can Always Count on Lentils

Reception pupils are growing plants. The children brought in their beans and seeds to germinate. Before the planting activity started the kids used table groups to count the lentils they had. They extended their range of verbal counting to 20 and 1-100 using an exercise song. One group counted 97 seeds!
