25.01.2022 Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year! May the new year bring happiness, good health, love, laughter, adventures and all the good things in life.

25.01.2022 There are many ways to teach numbers and addition and my favourite way is always through engaging and fun activities. Children embrace learning through enjoyment and this is where learning and building understanding begins to develop. We explored addition using a variety of activities. Rolling the dice and collecting amounts to add altogether. ... We used a game board to move around and read out the addition sentence and count on from the biggest number. We selected dominoes adding up each side to match up to its amount. During these activities the children were able to explore their thinking and display their understanding with a range of objects.

23.01.2022 Today we explored numbers in a range of activities. Children explore concepts and learn to communicate their mathematical thinking using representations, visual aids, pictures and numbers. We investigated addition, combing numbers on two dice to make a new number, matched amounts to their number and used objects to represent a range of numbers which allowed the children to visually see which amount was more and less.

23.01.2022 One of my beautiful students gave me a lovely surprise yesterday that he had made. I just adore being a part of their learning journey

22.01.2022 We put our bossy fingers to work today with a range of fine motor activities. Cutting, tracing and pasting. There are many benefits cutting with scissors,... - Independent movements of each finger - Strengthens hand muscles - Visual motor skills (eye-hand coordination) - Visual perceptual tasks (direction) - Fine Motor skills (separation of hand, finger dexterity)

21.01.2022 Number sense helps children understand what numbers mean, learn concepts and understanding allowing them to explore, visualise and make comparisons. We explored addition using numbers 1-10. The children enjoyed comparing their amounts before adding them together. Exploring numbers allows children to- - visualise numbers and quantities... - understand and explore number symbols, vocabulary and meaning - compare and represent amounts - learn a range of mathematical operations - an awareness of number patterns See more

21.01.2022 Fine Motor skills can be developed through a range of experiences involving materials that support building strength in the arms, hands and fingers. Fine motor development is essential for childrens emergent and later writing skills.

21.01.2022 We went on a letter hunt using the letter cookies to flip over to match to the letter selected. It was a lot of fun watching the children look at their letter and check to see if they were the same each turn (matching). This was a fun way of exploring letters and sounds.

20.01.2022 We have engaged I n a range of activities this term with a big focus on cutting. Cutting allows children to build up the little muscles in their hands with the open and close motion. These muscles are so important for writing, painting, getting dressed, using utensils and requires children to use their eyes and hands in unison, (Eye-hand coordination). ... Cutting encourages children to use both sides of the body at the same time while each hand is performing its own task. When cutting a child must hold the paper with one hand while the other hand is cutting. Cutting takes concentration and attention. These skills are essential in contributing to classroom tasks, instructions and everyday life.

16.01.2022 Why do we read? We read for enjoyment, to be taken on adventures, to connect with others, to find out information, to find out different points of view, create engaging experiences and explore expressions There are so many ways we can assist children to love reading.... - Finding/researching information - Describe pictures, expressions - Comprehension, retell the story, questioning, connecting information - Sharing the enjoyment - Inferring - Exploring words and their definitions Before reading - Look through the book with your child - Point out characters, setting - Talk about what the book might be about and why? - Talk about the characters - What do you think might happen? After reading Ask similar questions, have your child retell the story, discuss the beginning, middle and end of the story. Was there a problem? What was it? Was there a solution? - Draw pictures, explore words, look at expressions. Enjoy the reading adventure.

16.01.2022 We all have a unique learning style. When we connect and learn about children’s individual learning styles, we are able to foster and nurture a love of learning

16.01.2022 Learning to write takes time and lots of practice. A large part contributing to writing skills has to do with gaining control over the arm, hand and finger movements that are necessary in forming letters and numbers. Tracing is an effective way to teach writing and benefits in assisting the skills necessary for writing. ... Tracing shapes, a range of lines, maze patterns, jagged and curvy lines can help your child develop fine motor control. Tracing contributes to children learning how to orient and control their movements from left to right, top to bottom. There are a number of pre-writing tasks that you can use to encourage and support your child in their pre-writing skills. These include but not limited to: Pattern writing Tracing shapes and patterns Dot to Dots Colouring In Drawing Copying lines

14.01.2022 During this particular activity my student stopped to share how much she loved this particular activity. I adore how children find and embrace enjoyment in the moment. I see learning happen when they’re happy .

14.01.2022 A fun filled day at today’s workshop. An amazing group of enthusiastic and happy children.

13.01.2022 We loved exploring numbers in a variety of activities. Children begin to grasp and understand concepts of amounts, what a number looks like and make understanding when they can explore and manipulate objects.

13.01.2022 Numerical skills emerge during infancy and the preschool years when children are exposed to a range of different activities. Understanding the early development of numeracy can provide children with the tools, skills and concepts they need to explore mathematical thinking. - Names of numbers ... - Quantities (compare) - Understand what numbers mean - Count, collect, match - Order numbers - Add and subtract See more

12.01.2022 Exploring numbers- Collecting amounts, counting, adding and identifying numbers 1-20. Hands on experiences where children can see, touch and make a range of number creates so many learning experiences and outcomes.... When we represent numbers we open up so many learning experiences that lead to talking about their amounts (more/less), questioning (is it odd/even), comparing, exploring different ways to make that number and gain more of an understanding of what numbers are.

08.01.2022 So many skills at work! It’s been a wonderful year being a part of every amazing child’s learning journey! For me it’s always been about getting to know every child, nurturing their abilities, strengths, needs and learning style, making sure they feel connected and know they’re supported.... Watching them explore, learn, develop and grow confidence is simply the best part. There is nothing like a room full of laughter, enjoyment, friendships, memories and learning without even knowing they’re learning! Wishing all my students starting school next year the happiest and positive start in their transition.

03.01.2022 Love seeing the enjoyment in learning

03.01.2022 Learning to count, identify numbers, compare and manipulate quantities are key early numeracy skills. Promoting understanding of number sense can have significant benefits for childrens numeracy development and support childrens transitions from informal to formal mathematics learning.

03.01.2022 Wishing everyone a very happy and safe Christmas. May the New Year bring so much joy!

03.01.2022 I will never forget the beautiful moment shared with a student of mine when she looked up at me during an activity and said, I’m still learning. Me too, I replied.

02.01.2022 Workshop Fun Children draw a range of skills from engaging and fun experiences. Varied activities based on children’s interests allow children to discover, explore, encourage, problem solve, learn and form strategies, build confidence, persist in tasks, work independently and as a team, strengthen fundamental skills such as fine motor, numeracy, literacy skills and social/emotional skills.
