The children learned that letter 'Ee' makes sound /e/ as in elephant, egg, elbow and of course Ema. They enjoyed the paper elephant craft that looked just like letter 'E'.

The plants that we planted in the little garden outside with Mr. Matt's help are growing really well. It's amazing how quickly they grow and how tall they are now. The children observed the plants closely on Friday and saw the bean pods that are almost ready to be harvested and eaten! There were many 'wows' when they saw them. The sunflowers are the tallest plants in the garden of course. There are also two different types of beans, potatoes and carrots growing. How tall will our plants grow by the end of June? On Friday Ms. Helen shared a traditional Chinese story of the Tadpoles Looking for Their Mum. We told the story in English and Chinese in turns and followed it up with the children acting it out. They really enjoyed the story and kept saying, "It's so funny!" It also gave the children an opportunity to find out what frogs' babies look like and how they transform into frogs. In Maths the children looked at how to tell the time by the hour. They enjoyed the Hickory Dickory Dock nursery rhyme and song. They also made their own clocks out of card and used them to show the times that the Bad-Tempered Ladybug met different animals. We also talked about different times the children do their everyday activities. As part of our topic on Minibeasts, we looked closely at the ladybugs. We read 'The Bad-Tempered Caterpillar' story by Eric Carle. The children looked at the ladybug's body, at what it eats and what it can do. The ladybug in the story meets many different animals that we compared by the size. The story also gave us an opportunity to learn how to tell time by the hour. The letter of the week in Literacy was /Ll/ for ladybug. We also made some lovely ladybugs out of paper and play dough. Read much more about our project here. |
