Reception have had fun this week playing an engaging maths game where they practised identifying numbers and counting colorful fish to find the correct match. The children counted each fish one by one, showing brilliant focus as they matched the quantities to the corresponding written numbers. They also worked well, taking it in turns to use the spinner and choose a number. ![](https://darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy.schudio.com/images/news/d61425a7-0d78-4e50-ae8c-5444081d6b64.jpg)
