On this sunny day, we took advantage of the shade that the woods provide and we played out there for nearly an hour this morning.
We used “tapping sticks” to count up and backwards as well as starting with different numbers. We used them to count the syllables in our names.
Then we counted and collected 10 sticks each. We had to measure them against our arms to make sure that they were no longer than the space between our fingertips to our elbows. Then we created pictures with them.
We also had a number hunt and created our own number line. In between all that, we climbed some trees and trekked around the pitch.
Have a look.
We have been busy counting sticks, stones, cones and bears! Matching the number of items with the numeral.
We have also been sorting objects by their colour and shape!
We have been ordering our numbers to 10 and beyond. We also had to find the right number and the correct colour on the number stones.
As we were working we sang number songs….our favourite is “5 Little Ducks”.
We have been using cubes, blocks, 2D shapes and sticks to measure how tall we are as well as how tall some objects are around the nursery.
Yesterday we hiked over to the woods at the side of the pitch. On our way to the woods we talked about the story “Going on a Bear Hunt.” We didn’t find any this time.
While we were in the woods we counted leaves on little branches and we also made wands. We found sticks, counted 10 leaves and added them to our magic stick wands.
Before we left the woods we sang some songs including “Rain, rain go away” as the rain had started to fall.
