They were given two lily pads, one big and one small, ready for their frogs to jump onto. The children were encouraged to vocalise the size of each frog before allocating it to a corresponding lilypad. The children took different approaches during this activity, with some finding all of the small frogs first whereas other children picked up frogs at random and sorted them between big and small. The children enjoyed mimicking frog movements with the images, bouncing their frogs to the correct lily pads. Once all the frogs were sorted onto their lilypads, the children were challenged to count them! Nursery class tried really hard to number the frogs in sequence. Well done everyone!
