Guest Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Has anyone tried this new scheme that's out? I always find the children are brilliant are remembering all of their sounds because of jolly phonics but some of the less able children struggle with recognising all their numbers. I have tried to make actions/songs to go woth each number but wondered if there was a scheme like jolly phonics for numeracy instead? Saw Nippy numbers on a website and wondered if it was any good?!

Verona Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 We sing little action songs so that children can write and recognise number 1 - 10. Can't remember all of them but here are a few (Singing - wish you could hear the tune) No. 2 - swing it round and then go right swing it round and then go right swing it round and then go right to make the number 2 No.3 - swing it round and then once more etc No 4 - Down and slide and cut it in half etc No 5 - Down and round and put on his hat etc Can't remember No. 1 or the other numbers to 10 at the moment, minds gone blank. My deputy found these somewhere and we use it at Pre-school. Even the little ones sing it and draw the number in the air. Perhaps someone might know the other number songs if not, then when I go into PS on Monday I can look them up, or perhaps I might remember them before then and I'll post them. Don't know if this helps but it definitely works for us. Sue J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marion Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 I'm not sure if its the same scheme I saw at an exhibition but at the time I was told its for older children........ http://www.ridgehillpublishing.com/Nippy_numbers.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Wolfie Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 There used to be another scheme about called Tentown, written by someone in Stafford. I never used it so can't say whether it's any good but it might be worth a look|? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Tentown is just about to close down and they had some bits half price on the website recently. As it would be my own money again I resisted! (Havent used it either) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
