What looked like a “quiet” week on paper has turned out to
be amazingly fruitful.
Our “making tracks” inquiry continues to grow, with the
children making their own tracks in the sand. This lead us on to making our own
map about the route the characters took when “They went on a Bear Hunt.” This
was a great opportunity to work on our sequencing and working memory and fine
motor skills.
Making maps, of course, lead us on to treasure maps. Check out
Chapple Island on the wall and we used our number sequencing to find the
treasure, can you find it?
Banjo did a great job of oral storytelling,
entertaining the class by using the pictures to make up his own tale. Addison
and William developed their patterning to make a firework picture on the floor.
The children used treasure map numbers to make their own number lines. We have
even made some 3D pictures of ribs and lungs.
We love to hear about any connection the children are making
between their learning at the ELC and home, so please let us know on mcharlwood@staff.pac.edu.au
