Learning about numbers

We have been learning a chant about firemen to help us learn our numbers and start to understand the concept of taking away. The chant goes like this:

Five little fireman standing in a row,

1 2 3 4 5 lets go

Jump on the engine with a SHOUT,

As quick as a wink the fire is out.

Four little fireman standing in a row,

1 2 3 4 shh lets go,

Jump on the engine with a SHOUT,

As quick as a wink the fire is out.

The chant continues as above but counts down each time but replace the relevant number with a shh each time. So three fireman would have the words 1 2 3 shh shh. Have a go yourself.
