Video Script -- Lesson 6

Number 6

Subject: Maths | Class: Nursery | Series: Skillford

Hello, friends! Welcome back to maths time. Can you count with me from one to five? One, two, three, four, five. And what comes next? Six! Today our number is six.

Look at this big red number. This is six. Say it with me. Six!

Now look at the picture. The sun is shining, there is a rainbow in the sky and a little waterfall is splashing into a pond. And look who is flying in the meadow. Butterflies! Let us count them. Touch each one as we go. The orange one, one. The blue one, two. The yellow one, three. The pink one, four. The purple one, five. The green one, six. Six butterflies!

Here is a clever trick. If I have three butterflies and three more butterflies come to play, how many butterflies are there? Three and three more make six.

And here is another one. Five butterflies, and one more joins them. Five and one more is six. Six is one more than five.

Did you know that butterflies have six legs? Ants have six legs too. Ants live together in big families called colonies. Wiggle six fingers like little legs. One, two, three, four, five, six. Well done!

If you have a magnifying glass at home, look at the butterflies with it. They look so big! Can you still count all six?

You can make a paper butterfly too. Fold a piece of paper in half. The two sides match, just like butterfly wings. Make six and put them in a row.

Now it is time to write the number six. Hold up your finger. Start at the top. Curve down and round, and make a little round belly at the bottom. That is six!

Let us do it again. Start at the top. Down and round. Close the belly. Six!

Your teacher says the belly of the six is at the bottom. Make it nice and round, and join it up so there is no gap.

When you trace six in your book, start at the green dot and follow the arrows. Go slowly. There are six butterflies at the top of that page. You can colour them red, green, blue, pink, yellow and brown, a different colour for each one.

Then you will count more things. Count the carrots and find the number six. Count the little pictures on the cards and join them to five or six.

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

Six comes after five. Three and three more make six. Five and one more make six.

To write six, start at the top, curve down and close the round belly.

You were wonderful today, friends! Flap your wings six times before you go. One, two, three, four, five, six. Bye-bye!
