Exploring Mathematics and Language Creatively Mathematics We have been exploring numbers as part of our mathematics pre-assessment. Children were given manipulatives to be able to count, name, recognise, and subitize. For some children they were able to write and count backwards. We threaded some pasta to make bracelets and necklaces and counted them all. We also played different counting games. Language Letter sound of the week - Ss We have started our first letter sound 'Ss'. We followed the order of Jolly Phonics. (s,a,t,i,p,n) We learn letter sounds through songs, arts and crafts and foods. We had sunflower for craft and we glued the seeds onto the letter s. We had fun with our stamping and sponge painting. We had seeds sensory bin and we ate different types of seeds. Grade 3 Buddies This year our buddies are from Grade 3J. We will meet them every Tuesday afternoon. During this time the children are given opportunity to work cooperatively with others, make connections to the Primary School and share a love of books. We look forward to a great year with our buddies. Unit of Inquiry - How we express ourselves Central Idea: Through play we express our feelings and ideas to come to new understandings. The children were asked this question as part of our tuning in activity. We would like to know how do they define 'play' using their own words. What is play? Angus: "When you play means share." Beau: "It means drawing, painting, and playing with animals. When you play, you make friends." Gabby: "It's a kind of play dough." Maia: "When you play with blocks. It's when you are with people sharing." Kai: "It means Lego." Chase: "When you are reading." Dragon: "Play means rocket ship, a rooster, tiger and popcorn! I feel happy when I play with Gabby." Ashley: "I play with Mandy." Mandy: "Exercising" Tycoon: "Motorcycle toy, vroom vroom." Ameli: "Reading" Welcome back Ameli!
