YR - Counting backwards songs
The children have already looked at some counting back songs, watch this video https://vimeo.com/483950207 and then see whether you can learn a new song together. Can you act it out? For example '5 little monkeys' could be acted out with soft toys. Some song ideas can be found here https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/school-radio/nursery-rhymes-counting-songs/zn67kmn

YR - Composition of 5. Watch this video together https://vimeo.com/483952685 then have a go a throwing 5 objects at a target. For example, 5 teddies onto a cushion on the floor. How many land on the cushion and how many don't. Discuss the fact that those numbers together make 5. For example if 1 lands on the cushion and 4 don't, 1+4=5. How many ways could you make 5? Can you try a new game, like throwing cheerios into a plastic cup?

YR
Watch this video together https://vimeo.com/483954739 and then play a matching game. You could print and use these cards here https://assets.whiterosemaths.com/fixed/wrm/2020/11/PDF-Alive-in-5-Week-1-Session-4.pdf or tear up bits of paper and draw objects on them. For example, draw 2 lines on one piece of paper, 2 dots on another piece of paper and the number 2 on another piece of paper. Do this with numbers 0 to 5 (Zero is an important number for the children to understand and recognise), shuffle the cards and then see how they match them.
