The children listened to the story, Buxu Jsib Tezor. They played a fishing game. The children were split in two groups and used a fishing rod to catch some fish. Once they caught a fish they had to identify the number written on the fish. The children made a cat using toilet paper rolls using their favourite colour.

The children took turns to play the role of Buxu (wearing ears) outdoors. The other children played the role of Buxu’s cat friends. They counted numbers to play hide and seek while Buxu went hiding in a bucket that was full of fish which he shared with his friends and family.

The children had some time to improve their mathematical skills by using the beebot with cards/pictures taken from the book of Buxu.

K1.3 started the day by going through the story using puppets. Then children created a mask using different characters of the story. Going through the process of a planted bean, the children were given some cotton wool to sow a bean in a cup (the beanstalk).

They were also given some playdough mats to create their own beans, coins, beanstalk and eggs. Numeracy (counting beans) was integrated with the learning experience. A leaf template was presented where children could count the beans according to the number shown.

Flower flashcards were given to create them on the mats followed by colouring to add on. The last activity included matching pictures.
