This week we will be continuing recognising, ordering and counting with numbers to 20. Using the numbers 0-20 from last week, I would like you to go on a number hunt! Ask your grown up to hide the numbers around your house or in your garden. Can you find them all? Once you have found the numbers, can you place them in the correct order from 0-20?
