LIT 0-01a I enjoy exploring and playing with the patterns and sounds of language and can use what I learn.

HWB 0-01a I am aware of and able to express my feelings and am developing the ability to talk about them. 

Wellbeing Indicator: RESPECTED

Our young learners have been exploring numbers all around them this week and are beginning to recognise and order numbers from 0-10. Some learners are already exploring and counting numbers beyond 10. The children have also been recalling and sharing numbers from their own personal worlds such as their house number, the numbers of the buses they use and the ages of people in their family.

Our learners have been identifying rhyming words such as ‘hat – cat’ and ‘ball – wall’. At gathering time, the children have been enjoying the rhyme, ‘Humpty Dumpty’, and have also been reinforcing their knowledge of the days of the week.

The children have been wearing ‘living our values’ stickers with pride. These are building our learners’ self-confidence and helping them make positive choices. They have also encouraged the children to think and talk about how their words and actions can affect others.
