Inquiring into Numbers Preschool students have been inquiring into numbers. They were exposed to many playful activities and hands-on games using variety of manipulatives. We played bingo, we went number hunting around the school and used tally charts to record our data. We count everyday and everywhere! We count our friends in the morning and we do counting in our calendar. We count the bowls and spoons when we have snacks and many more. Phonics We had a busy week with our letter sound of the week 'Nn'. We did night craft, necklaces, noodle sensory bin and making cheese nachos. What a fun way to learn sounds through hands-on experiences. Night, Necklaces, Nest, Noodles and Nachos! We are the Preschool Cats! We needed to choose a class name that began with C (Preschool C). Our choices were living things such as coconut, cat, carrot, cow, camel or corn. Mathematics: Linked to data handling - graphing. ![]() Unit of Inquiry - How we express ourselves Developing a new role play area The students were shown various photos of role play areas. Preschool Cats voted 'Hospital' as their new role play area. We brainstormed many ideas on what we will need for our hospital role-play area. We drew pictures on a big white paper and the teacher scribed. Gabby and Ameli took action and brought some equipment to make our hospital an enjoyable place to pretend. If you have old equipment or empty medicine boxes to add to our 'hospital', please send them in. The children can make use of them.
