Five Little Penguins is a winter-themed maths storybook that helps Reception pupils practise counting with confidence from 1 to 5. Part of the Maths Foundations Early Years – Autumn programme, this charming tale invites children into a chilly polar world where five playful penguins engage in early number fun.

Aligned with the ELG for Number and Numerical Patterns, this story encourages subitising, one-to-one correspondence, and comparison, all wrapped in a language-rich, seasonal context. It’s perfect for sparking curiosity and mathematical talk around small numbers during the darker winter weeks.

This resource forms part of Block 5, and comes with:
• A themed tuff tray activity
• A hands-on task
• A Prior Learning PowerPoint
• Full Teaching Essentials for seamless planning and delivery

Whether reinforcing the principles of counting or bringing polar animals into your provision, Five Little Penguins helps consolidate key early concepts through storytelling, movement and fun.
