Hello, lovely friends! Welcome to maths time. Today we are going to learn the number four!

Look at the big white number on the red square. This is four. Say it with me. Four!

Now look at the picture. We are in a bakery. There are jars of sweets on the shelves and a plate on the table. On the plate are some yummy cupcakes! Let us count them. One, two, three, four. Four cupcakes! Say it with me. Four cupcakes!

Look at the tops. One has a red star. One has a cherry. One has an orange slice. And one has chocolate with sprinkles. Which one would you like?

Hold up four fingers for the four cupcakes. One, two, three, four. Brilliant!

Do you know how cupcakes get so big and soft? The heat in the oven helps them rise and become fluffy. Remember, only grown-ups use the oven, because it is very hot.

Here is a counting trick. I have two cupcakes. Here come two more cupcakes. How many now? Four! Two cupcakes and two more cupcakes make four.

If you have a calculator, press the number four. Then touch the four cupcakes in the picture. One, two, three, four!

Can you be a builder? Use your blocks to build a stand for four cupcakes. Put one cupcake on each place and count them.

Now it is time to write the number four. Hold up your finger and draw with me in the air.

First, a slanted line going down. Lift your finger. Now a line across. Lift again. Now a long line straight down. That is four!

Let us do it again. Slant down, lift, across, lift, straight down. Four!

Your teacher has a tip for you. When you draw the line across, let it poke out a little past the long line, like a little tail. Then draw the long line all the way down.

In your book, follow the green arrows. On the first rows the dots show you the way. On the last rows you write the four by yourself.

At the top of the page there are four cupcakes with hearts on top. Colour them in. How many cupcakes will you colour? Four!

Later you will colour some beach balls and count some fluffy kittens. Count the lines on each ball. Some have three and some have four!

Let us remember what we learned today. The number four is called four.

Two and two more make four. Heat helps cupcakes rise.

To write four, slant down, go across, and then go straight down.

You were amazing today! Count four things at teatime. See you next time! Bye-bye!
