Nina Marni every one and welcome to our weekly blog.
Moon Lantern Festival and cultural cloths day in Holy Family Early Learning!!!
Our moon lanterns have been judged and we got the price for our Lanterns.
Our Learning Intention one is to support each child to deepen their understanding of measurement. Encouraging children to use comparative language such as big, medium, and small, as well as the terms bigger and smaller.
Why: Children become numerate as they develop the understanding, knowledge, and skills to use mathematics confidently across learning areas and in their lives.They develop conceptual understandings, procedural fluency, and adaptive reasoning skills to facilitate transfer of their mathematical knowledge to contexts outside the mathematics classroom and this is supported when the mathematical ideas with which they interact are relevant and meaningful.Children are showing interest in sorting, measurements, comparing sizes (taller or shorter, bigger, or smaller) and shapes.To support children’s understanding measuring, estimating, sorting, noticing patterns. Children construct mathematical ideas from birth through a combination of cognitive .
ILP’s : All Children .
Children observed different objects with different sizes, they were engaged in comparing length. They learned to use the terms bigger, big, medium ,smaller and were able to organise the objects accordingly with the help of their teacher.
They used different sized spoons to weigh flour. Through the experience, they learned to compare weights. They observed the heavier cup pushed the beam of the scale down more than the lighter side.
They also weighed a range of materials to explore the idea of measurement.
Numeracy Intention
Can you find smaller and bigger TOWER ?
Literacy Intentions (our hopes for their learning)
- Children will develop a joyful connection to picture books.
- Children will gain confidence in using mark-making tools, such as crayons, textas, pencils, paint, chalk, sand (as they create texts during this process).
- Children will build symbolic functioning, sharing something about the marks they have created
Our story table for this week…
Dear Zoo and Bear Hunt
Mark making provocation is included in our everyday experiences.
Sensory Play most loved experience among all the children for this week.
Sensory play encourages learning through exploration, curiosity, problem solving and creativity. It helps children to build their nerve connections to the brain and encourages the development of language and motor skills.
Wow !!! a snow fall visit to our Early Learning
Thanks to the beautiful weather our little learners were very excited to see an amazing flow of beautiful white flowers cover our outdoor space. The children were so delighted to pick up the petals of our pretend snow breeze. They were very busy and engaged in collecting these petals and placing them in the water puddle.

Construction : Children were engaged in different types of construction provocations.
We have started working on our Ice cream shop from scratch . Children painted the cardboard for ice cream wall and decorated the Ice cream sticks.
Specks of the gold for the week!!
