It’s MATHS week at Mauchline ECC

Firstly thank you to all our families who participated in our home link.  We’ve shared your hard work with all the children and it’s on display in the ECC.  Well done.🌟

Indoor Learning

The children are still showing an interest in nursery rhymes and this week we’ve focused on counting rhymes and number rhymes.

The children used construction resources to build their own clock for Hickory Dickory Dock.  As well as reciting the rhyme we explored clocks looking at the numerals on the clock and discussing the concept of time.

The children have enjoyed acting out number rhymes such as 5 little men in a flying saucer, 5 little monkeys and 5 little ducks.

Almost all children had the opportunity to participate in small maths challenges involving number, shape, matching, patterns, colours, counting using both technology and maths resources.

This week in the ECC we have continued with children’s interest of nursery rhymes, extending children’s opportunities to explore this theme 🌟

I n d o o r s

The children have seemed to enjoy reciting a variety of number songs and rhymes, exploring rhyming words and identifying the odd one out 😀 The children have had the opportunity to explore rhyme through a variety of media.

Links to the Curriculum; Literacy, Expressive Art, Science.

The children have also seemed to enjoy exploring the traditional story of ‘Goldilocks and the Three bears’ 🐻 🐻 🐻.
The children made a map of the woods and the bears house and discussed the story and the characters in the story. They then used the small world resources to retell the story, focusing on the beginning, middle and end of the story.
