They looked carefully at pictures and worked hard to *copy the designs*, making sure each one used *5 cubes*. Once they had built their patterns, the children counted carefully to check there were 5 cubes in total — sometimes spotting when they had added too many or too few! Everyone showed great concentration, problem-solving and pride in their work. Well done, Busy Bees!
