JJ, Jonathan, Luke and Oshin At Their Maths Lesson

Today's maths lesson was to count backwards to solve subtractions problems up to 50. 

It was a little tricky counting backwards when the number is bigger than 20. Room 5 students had to think very hard about the number before. 

Look, there's Lorenzo in the queue waiting for his lesson.
