This morning children have been outside working and playing together in our Early Years yard. The children had access to lots of mathematics themed activities and resources. Many children enjoyed using chalks to write numbers and they also enjoyed finding numbers hidden in the sand area. Some children enjoyed playing maths puzzles and games. We also had some writing numbers using felt pens and pencils. The Year 1 children had a good time working in a group with Mrs Conde. They worked hard to use a number track and identified numbers on their track to match the number of coins dropped into a tin. Mrs Conde then wanted them to find the number on their track which was one more or one less than a given number.
Letters and Sounds was an opportunity for us to learn about the letter ‘g’. The children enjoyed having our Governor Mrs Wendy Horan in to see them working together and using many Letters and Sounds resources. The children from Year 1 worked in a group to use words containing the letter ‘g’ to form sentences. The children wrote their sentences independently and used an illustration too.
This afternoon we are looking forward to Physical Development in the hall. The children will have the opportunity to use mats and to bounce/hop/take big steps across them. The children will also recall how to move around the hall in different ways without bumping into anyone.
The Letters and Sounds for this week are: g, o,c,k.
