Literacy
We focussed on middle sounds this week - the kids had to listen to a word and figure out if the middle sound was 'a', 'o', 'e','i' or 'u'. This was a bit tricky but with some practice the kids got the hang of it.
We also learnt about 'word families' - so for example, the word 'cat' would be in the 'at' family. The kids made word family sundaes and had a lot of fun with the activity!
Writing
We read the story 'The little red hen' and the kids practiced writing the title and labelling characters in their writing books.
Numeracy
For Numeracy, we learnt about capacity and volume this week. Here we are doing a small experiment to show the kids that although the size of the container varies, the capacity remains the same. The kids thought I was doing magic at one point! But eventually they understood the concept :)
Then we worked with sand and worksheets to understand the meaning of 'half', 'full' and 'empty'.
Art
We had a lot of fun making the little red hen from our book of the week.
