Literacy Focus

Letter ‘Mm’ – we reviewed our sounds and made a list of words while the children enjoyed a brain break

Literacy Rotations

Rotations this morning

• Writing sight words on paper on the wall (great gross and fine motor activity – which was lots of fun) Building upon recognition of High Frequency Words
• Formation of ‘Mm’ – word building
• Paper folding – making a mouse  – Following directions/sequence  – fine motor
• Playing a game – oral language and collaboration

After Library, as part of our ‘Keeping Safe Curriculum’  we talked about people in the community who can help us   – The children recorded their ideas in their learning journal.

People in the community who can help us:

Emily – Teachers help you.

Owen – The ambulance can help you when you get hurt.

Alexa – The workers in the shop (Security guard)

Jordan – The police can help you.

Elnathan – Fire fighters

At the end of the day we talked about some different ideas we could explore during play investigations.

Play Investigations is a time when we think about –

• How we can  challenge our  thinking?

• What is something new we could learn?

• Can I teach my friends something new?
