Hello parents of preschool A
I hope everyone has been having a good week and hopefully staying healthy and flu free!
We have had fun this week expanding our exploration of the inquiry unit - How we express ourselves. We listened to different kinds of music, tried making things with play dough and making up new dance moves.
We also talking about wearing masks and keeping germs at bay so that we can stay healthy during influenza season.
Maths
In maths this week we and working on recognising the small numbers can add up to the same number. We have been doing this before each meal or snack break with numbers adding up to 10, please feel free to practice this with your child at home as they have been really enjoying this activity.
English
This week we focused of remembering upper and lower case letters and how to tell the difference between the lower case letters of b,d,p and q. It has been a little tricky for some of us because they are so similar!We are continuing to try reading simple words and for some of us it is getting a little easier but we are all practising really hard so that we can start reading books for ourselves.
Unit of Inquiry
This week in our unit of inquiry lessons we have been looking at how music makes us feel. We listened to classical music, pop music from different countries and more. There were many conversations about how the music made us feel as we also tried to make different dance moves for the music that we heard.
