Neighbours, Numbers and pattern

We have continued to read our focus story 'Six Dinner Sid' but this week we have been thinking about houses and neighbours seen as Sid lived in a row of terraced houses where neighbours didn't speak to one another.
We have been talking about the types of houses we live in: terraced, semi-detached, detached, flats and we've been painting them. 
We have been making big, beautiful patterns - some with repeating patterns. They just make us feel so happy! We've also been learning which numbers are bigger and smaller than others using numberblocks and we've started to learn how to make 7 and 8 eg. 6 and 1 or 6 and 2.
