Numeracy & Maths January ’18

In our ToyShop, throughout the play-room and outdoors we have been sorting and grouping toys and objects.

We discussed the features of our toys/objects and sorted by colour, shape, size. We spoke about what made toys work; batteries, electricity or something different – wind up toys.

We have been exploring money and have now introduced this as part of our snack routine. We know money is used to buy goods, we can recognise some coins and we can use money language such as; cost, how much?, more, change.

Ella-Rose explains “you know it is a 5 ’cause it is the wee shiney one.”

 

Santa’s Workshop/Christmas

We designed and built our own toys in Santa’s Workshop.

  • We can compared size, solved design problems and showed our understanding of positional language; on top, under, behind, in front and in.
  • We can form recognisable letters/words.
    We can write/mark make to give information.
  • We are developing our control of our fine movements. We can hold and use small tools.
