Hello, wonderful learners! This is a special day. Today we reach the number twenty!

Look at it. Twenty has a two and a zero. Say it with me. Twenty!

Now look at the picture. We are in a sunny garden. There is a wooden fence, lots of flowers and a sparkly blue lake. And standing on the green grass are lots of paper fans! They spin round in the wind. Some have spots, some have stripes, and some have every colour of the rainbow.

Let us count the paper fans. There are four rows. Top row. One, two, three, four, five. Next row. Six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Next row. Eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen. Last row. Sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty! Twenty paper fans!

A fan moves air. Do you have a fan? Wave it near your face. Can you feel the wind? Wave it twenty times and count with me. One, two, three... all the way to twenty!

You can make your own fan. Take a sheet of paper. Fold it one way, then the other way, back and forth, like a zigzag. Pinch the bottom. Now you have a fan!

Here is a number trick. Show me ten fingers. That is ten. Now ask a friend to show ten more. Ten and ten make twenty! Ten fans and ten more fans make twenty fans.

Twenty is two tens. The two in twenty means two tens. The zero means no ones left over.

If you have a calculator, press two, then zero. There it is. Twenty!

Let us write twenty in the air. Hold up your finger.

First the two. Draw a full curve at the top. Come down to the bottom. Pause! Now draw a flat foot across.

Now the zero. Draw a tall, skinny O, all the way round. Twenty!

Let us try again. Curve, down, pause, foot for two. Tall skinny O for zero. Super!

Your teacher says to pause at the bottom of the two before you draw its foot. And make the zero tall and thin, not fat and round.

In your book, start at the green dots and follow the arrows. On the last rows you write twenty all by yourself.

At the top of the page there are twenty paper fans. Colour them in, and count each one as you go.

On the activity page there are burgers. Count them. Five, ten, fifteen, twenty! Match them to the number twenty. Then count the footballs, the cars, the coconuts and the teddy bears too.

Let us remember what we learned today. This number is twenty.

Ten and ten make twenty. Twenty is two tens.

To write it, we draw a two with a flat foot, then a tall, skinny zero.

Now you can count all the way to twenty. I am so proud of you! See you next time! Bye-bye!
