6 sides (including top and bottom)
to cubes and bricks.
And every insect has 6
legs,
Collect 3 pegs and 3 pegs,
or 1 with 5,
or 4 with 2
to get 6 pegs in three different ways,
and the world was made in
6 creation days.

5
5 days for school –
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
and then Thursday, Friday;
5 fingers on each hand
(though one is called a thumb)
5 petals on a buttercup
3 sweets with another 2
makes 5 sweets altogether.

4
4 sides to a square,
4 wheels on a car,
4 legs on a chair:
2 books, and 2 more
makes 4.

3
3 leaflets on a clover leaf,
a tricycle has 3 wheels –
1, 2, 3
and every day there’s 3 main meals -
breakfast, lunch and dinner or tea.

2
2 hands to play
2 feet to take you on your way
2 eyes to watch
your feet don’t trip or slip or stray.

1
One mouth to guard,
one tongue to keep in check
as I talk;
one nose
that goes
in front
as I walk.

Once again very good.

But how long can you keep it up?

I suspect 17 might be a struggle but I have every confidence in you Rhiannon.

Good on you!

Do you know Rhiannon, I was trying hard to think of something for number six, but couldn't think of anything.

You're picking up on some great ideas.

Jenny.

Thank you , Jenny. Some numbers will probably be rather hard. But sometimes I feel blank and then when reminded (sometimes by googling!) I feel so silly that I had forgotten the obvious! Rhiannon
