Peacocks - library visit

Last Tuesday half of the peacocks group went to the library at Näsby park with Corrie and Nicky. Last Tuesday the other half went to the library in Täby centrum with Jessica and Florentine. 

Both groups looked for books about houses and homes. How and where people live all over the world, how to build houses, building material and the history of houses. 

We found many books that we brought back to school. We will be using them during IPC time when we have our activities about houses and homes.

Ducklings Maths:Counting with Plastic Fruits

Last tuesday the ducklings children got the chance to practise counting from 1 to 3 with plastic fruit toys. We set up a black board there with construction paper, “dots” and “number” flashcards to show the amount from 1 to 3. We first practiced counting with dots and numbers and then we put certain amounts of fruit toys under the dots and numbers accordingly. The children were very excited when they saw the fruit toys and that reminded them of eating the real fruits! They had also a lot of fun by coming into the front and pasted the fruits under the correct numbers and dots with the help of the teachers!

We have been working on the following Lpfö goals:

To develop their understanding of space, shapes, location and direction, and the basic properties of sets, quantity, order and number concepts, also for measurements, time and change.

To develop their curiosity and enjoyment as well as their ability to play and learn.

Peacocks - Jolly phonics

This week we started Jolly phonics. The children learned the sound of the letters 's', 'a', 't' and 'I'. They listened to the stories and that way we teach them the sounds and the corresponding movement. The children will get a sound-book on Friday so they can show you the movement and sounds. 

Every week the children will learn new sounds on Monday and Wednesday. 

On Tuesdays and Friday we focus more on writing skills.
