Our letter /sound of the week was Cc. We decided to celebrate Kru Bowling's birthday by making a Carrot Cake with candles and a card. Happy Birthday Kru Bowling! Thank you for all your work in our class. Cardboard Challenge We finished our cardboard challenge with our buddies in Week 9. Here are some photos of what we made! Outdoor Play With the drier weather last week, the children were able to play outside a lot and enjoyed time riding bikes, playing in the sand and jumping on the trampoline. Along with improving their gross motor skills, outdoor play also gives them opportunities for social interactions in different settings, role play (for example giving tickets to drivers as they went past) and building their relationship with nature. Classroom Play and Activities We have been enjoying learning through play and using our imagination as we conclude our unit of inquiry on play. Have a look and discuss the photos with your child. Mathematics - Patterns This week we explored more and used our knowledge of patterns to create them out of different materials. We went on a pattern walk around the ECC and, working in pairs with an ipad, we took photos of the patterns we could see. We have also started to make pattern collages. Classroom Activities
We have had a busy week with lots of activities, building and play happening. Have a look with your child and ask them what is happening in the pictures. Mathematics This week we finished our mobile of numbers 1 -20. We counted out the number of beads for our chosen number and threaded them. In our data unit, we looked at the number of letters in our names and how we can represent this in different ways. Some children also created their own charts and tables to collect information, such as what pets people have and if they have brothers and sisters. They were great inquirers, formulating questions and recording the answers in a variety of ways. Classroom Play There has been a lot of role play happening this week! Have a look at these photos with your child and ask them to tell you what is happening. Pizza, pasta, pompoms and patterns!
We were exploring the letter sound 'p' this week and made pasta patterned necklaces. We made pizza from scratch and the preschool 2's began a long term craft project - making a pompom. |
