Space:
We started learning about space this week. To begin our unit we completed a web showing what we already knew about space.
Then we wrote down what we wanted to learn.
We started learning about the planets. So far we have learned about Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The children have really enjoyed learning about each planet.
We have slowly began creating an emergent reader about space.
The children created some pastel spaceships to add some colour to our room.
Shapes:
We began learning about 2D shapes. The first thing we did was try to make a circle with squares and triangles.
The children discovered that they couldn't do that because a circle is round and squares/triangles have edges and points.
Next we found different ways to make triangles and hexagons.
Centres:
We had new word work centres this week.
Syllable Practice:
Ending Sound/Rhyming Practice:
Missing Middle Sounds:
