It has been a FUNtastic week in F1! All of them are beginning to show so much confidence when exploring in and out of the classroom. Most of them are now able to say goodbye to their mums, dads and carers with minimal support from their teachers. They are also able to engage in a variety of activities and get themselves busy. Such wonderful children!
For our circle sessions, we have introduced our visual timetable and the days of the week. Most of the children are now able to recognise the pictures in our visual timetable and point to the different learning areas. We have been encouraging the children to say 'over there', 'outside' and 'here' as they point to them. For the days of the week, we have been singing the song 'There are 7 Days' and everyday, one child is asked to see what the weather is by looking through the glass door. We have been using 'cloudy', 'rainy', 'sunny' and 'windy' to describe the weather.
During story times this week, we have shared stories such as 'Jasper and the Beanstalk', 'Spot Goes to School', 'Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do You See', 'The Three Little Pigs' and 'Goldilocks and The Three Bears'.
Carrot brought in her book, 'The 3 Little Pigs' and shared it with everybody. We then watched the story in the Interactive Whiteboard.
For ICT, we still encourage all children to do the register on the IWB once they arrive in class. We also have Mr Tue who comes in every week to give each child a 5 minute turn to use the iPad and play with different Apps.
As using the IWB wand is new to the children, we have put up a painting activity from busythings.co.uk wherein children need to keep pressing the button on the IWB wand for the shapes and colours to change. Most of the children had a go at this activity and they loved it!
F1 also had a fantastic time playing in the Fundino playground. Most of them are now showing great confidence in using the climbing equipment and other resources to support their play.
The soft play room is a popular learning area amongst F1 children. When we open the door in the morning, all of them will cheer and will be very excited to play in there. They have been building with the shape cushions, play chasing game, shoot the balls on the goal and jump off the platforms. The tunnel is becoming a favourite area for them to hide and sing songs!
WELL DONE F1 CHILDREN FOR ANOTHER FUN AND EXCITING WEEK!
HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND!
