Children need to #play! #earlyyears

A nursery child starts their journey into the world of recorded mathematics in classic style:

There's a wonderful moment when we cross the road for our walk. We sing a song while the older children hold the younger children's hands.

Before you use your feet
Stop, look, listen
Before you cross the street." ♥️
