Once again we have been finding different ways to practice basic skills in literacy and numeracy. Take a look at the range of activities we shared this week.
Practicing letters with play dough helps our fine motor skills and letter formation.
We counted out blocks to match the numbers on our truck cards.
The play dough was in use again to practice patterns to 10 and get us ready for using tens frames next week.
We really like playing number bingo and can work together taking turns to be the caller.
This maths puzzle was pretty tricky but we did not give up..I wonder where the missing piece might be hiding?
On Thursday there was some lovely sharing going on when some friends brought in their spare animal sound cards.
Sam helped us to learn how to draw a face and we started work on our self portraits.
In Discovery Time on Friday we helped with the planting of some trees to provide shade in our new Junior Play Ground.
After all that planting we were pretty thirsty and had our lovely cold milk...yum! We are learning how to fold our cartons correctly so they can be recycled. Take a look at the video clip below to see the correct folding method.
Finally the app we used on the iPads this week was called Pocket Phonics. This aligns with the Jolly Phonics sounds we are learning. You can learn more about it by following this link:

ReplyDeleteIt is great to see all the photos and exciting things that Tracy and all the children are doing in Room 10 at Nelson Central School. What a fun way to learn. Jill (Australia)
