Library
We enjoyed sharing this fun text today in the library. Then the children borrows new books to take home and share. It was wonderful to observe the children supporting each other decode the new books they had just borrowed.
As a group we brainstormed words that have the ‘Ll’ sound at the beginning and also words that end in a double ‘ll’ sound
Letter – L l – ll
letter ball
lollypop bell
lion all
look will

Numeracy
Today we continued to explore the numeracy concept of – Same, More and Less
The children were given a numeral card and asked to count counters to represent the value and then create groups of more and less than the numeral. It was great to observe persistence as the children made connections with their knowledge of number, value and concepts of more, less and the same.
Play Investigation Challenge
Today the children were given the challenge to use ‘words’ in their play.
The children were asked ‘How they could do this?’
Bibi – You can talk to people
Adum – You can make up a story with the Beanie Boo. With the word blocks you can make a sentence while building them up.
Jed – You can read books
Felipe – Puppets shows and build words.
Keth – Talk to others people when we dress up.
Elnathan – If you want to make a book
Kalil – You can make paper laptops
Alexa – You can make words with play dough and signs
The children decided to explore:
- Play dough – making letters and words
- After building in the block area- writing a list of the things they built
- Following instructions to create things from paper
- Making signs for the zoo in mini log park
