Maths - Ordering Chinese Zodiac Animals - Term 2, Week 4
In class we looked at a story of origin of 12 Chinese Zodiacs. It was followed by counting to 12 and ordering the animals according to the 12-year cycle in Chinese calendar. 12 is quite a big number for 3-4 year olds and the task of ordering all the animals was not so easy. The children had to refer back to the story and keep the order right on their paper. It was nice seeing how the children tried to help each other and were really willing to finish off the activity at once despite the approaching lunch time and suggestion to finish it off afterwards.
