Physical Development - hoopla

To help the children learn about more or less they played 'hoopla' outside on the patio. In pairs they took it in turns to throw 5 beanbags each. If a beanbag landed in the hoop they scored 1 point but if it landed in the basket they scored 2 points. At the end of their turn they added up their points and recorded their score on the chalkboard. When both of the children had their turns they compared the numbers and decided who had more and who had less points.
Thinking - reflecting
Developing Number - calculating; interpreting findings
