Sand and Numbers

A visit to the beach two weeks ago with Mrs. Sparshott and Beth, led to an interest in painting with sand! 

This week the Prep students made a number display to help us continue to develop strong connections between number names, numerals and quantities up to 10! 

 

KP Birthday Book and Calendar Inquiry 

Felix’s Birthday on Monday led to an inquiry into birthdays and months of the year!  Questions we have started to explore include: 

• What month is my birthday in?
• What time of the year (season) is my birthday and how do I know?  
• How do people in our class celebrate this special event?

Bubbles, Hoops or Circles     

In order to stop the spread of germs and stay healthy, last week we introduced hoops to our mat time.  We learnt that it is important to stay in our own ‘bubbles’ (the students voted for this word) and not to go into our classmate’s bubbles.  

 

Exploring Measurement

This week our ‘bubbles’ disappeared and we moved onto exploring what sitting 1.5 metres away from each other actually looks like.  But before we could do that we explored the following questions:

• What does 1 metre look like and how do we know?
• How many ways can we show what 1 metre can look like?

​Next week we hope to introduce the concept of half so that we can add the half to our understanding of 1 metre.

YES WE CAN!

Happy weekend to everyone, stay safe and thank you for reading what our very clever and capable Kinder/Prep students have been up to.
