The Year 3 students have been concentrating hard on learning their numbers from 11 to 20 in German. We have been playing games, listening to songs and participating in other activities to help us learn and remember them.

More importantly, we’ve been looking at the patterns you find in counting. Each student was asked to explain, using pictures, sentences or any other way they could think of, the patterns they see when counting to 20. Most found this quite a difficult task! They had learnt and could recite the numbers but found it much trickier to explain what was going on.

Here is an explanation by a Year 3 student, Lauren. She explained the number patterns very well!
