In Pre-Reception This Week, We Are Learning About…
This week Pre-Reception are learning about Frogs! The students are very excited to learn interesting facts about frogs and their life cycle.
Some interesting facts they are learning:
- They are amphibians.
- They typically lay their eggs in the water and a group of eggs is a frogspawn.
- The eggs hatch into tadpoles.
- A group of frogs is called an army.
- Tadpoles have no lungs, they have gills. They grow lungs before they mature into a frog.
The students really enjoyed painting and making their own frogs in their creative activities. They learnt a new rhyme, Five Green Speckled Frogs and had such fun singing together.
In Literacy, the sound of the week is ‘d’. The students eagerly practiced writing the letter in rice with their finger. They excitedly found objects in the class that start with ‘d’. I was very impressed with what they found. A duck, dinosaur, door, a drawing, doll etc. They loved learning the action and song for the letter ‘d’.
In Numeracy this week, they are practicing to recognize numbers 1 – 5 and put them in the correct order.
It has been a very busy learning week; we have also been doing messy sensory activities to strengthen their fine motor muscles. All in all the students have had lots of fun learning through play!
