It was wonderful to see them building confidence with numbers while developing their counting and number recognition skills in a fun and practical way. Some pupils particularly enjoyed a game where they rolled a dice and then collected the correct number of counters. The challenge was to count carefully and work towards making a group of **10 counters**. Once they had collected ten, they could exchange their counters for a **ten-piece line**. The excitement grew as pupils worked towards filling their **hundred square**. The aim of the game was to be the first to fill the hundred square, encouraging everyone to count accurately, recognise quantities and think about how numbers are made up of tens and ones. It was a fantastic way to combine **learning, teamwork and a little friendly competition**! 🎲➕🔟 [maths](https://www.park.blackpool.sch.uk/blog/tag/maths) [ Sensory room time! ](https://www.park.blackpool.sch.uk/blog/2026-09-11-09-29-sensory-room-time) [Star of the week ](https://www.park.blackpool.sch.uk/blog/2026-09-11-10-10-star-of-the-week) ![Park Community Academy](https://files.schudio.com/parkschool-3/images/logo/Untitled_design_(9)_(1).png) #### Park Community Academy Mrs J Aaron (Academy Business Lead) 158 Whitegate Drive Blackpool Lancashire FY3 9HF 01253 764130 #### Useful Links: - [Vacancies](https://www.park.blackpool.sch.uk/vacancies1) - [Blackpool Education Partnership](https://www.blackpoolteachingschoolalliance.org.uk/) - [Independent Travel Training](https://www.park.blackpool.sch.uk/independent-travel-training) - [Embrace Teaching School Hub](https://www.torview.org/educational-excellence/teaching-school-hub) #### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/ParkCommunityAcademy) - [X](https://twitter.com/PCABlackpool) © Copyright 2025–2026 Park Community Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.park.blackpool.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
