We can count objects by touching them one at a time or by moving them as we say each number. We also talked about our ‘stopping number’ which is the last number we count in the set that tells us how many there are altogether. The children did so well and could remember how many they had counted altogether in each set. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/B48CFB63-8F22-4808-A6B3-CC3729C0B3E6.jpeg) [Reception](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/reception) [Maths](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/maths) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/61A22122-B455-45C2-9F19-830C63CF5111.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-09-28-year-2-junior-jam-singing) Previous ### [Year 2 - Junior Jam - Singing](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-09-28-year-2-junior-jam-singing) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/E35C374D-1CE0-4C82-80D2-3F85D999C528.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-09-30-willow-plate-painting-year-4-art) Next ### [Willow Plate Painting Year 4 Art ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-09-30-willow-plate-painting-year-4-art) ### Personal Development - [News](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
