🌟 Tricky Sounds, Colourful Shapes and Tangram Creations! 🌟
We’ve had a lovely Thursday in Reception E! Today, we continued strengthening our phonics skills in ESS before getting creative with 2D shapes in Logical Exploration. From practising some of our trickiest English sounds to building pictures with tangrams, the children have been putting their growing knowledge and skills to good use! 😊🌈
🔤 Early Sound Systems (ESS)
In ESS today, we continued practising both the voiced and unvoiced /th/ sounds that we have been exploring throughout the week. We began with a review of all our previously learned sounds, including our familiar single-letter sounds and the digraphs we have introduced so far. 📖🌟
We then focused on developing our writing skills using words containing the voiced /th/ sound. This gave the children another valuable opportunity to practise recognising our target digraph and applying their phonics knowledge to writing. ✏📚
As we’ve discovered this week, the two /th/ sounds can be particularly challenging for our children, as they are not found in Chinese. It’s important that we continue to practise both sounds regularly, helping the children become more comfortable with the unfamiliar mouth movements and recognise the differences between them. Please keep practising at home whenever you have the opportunity! 💛👏
🔢 Logical Exploration – Shape Detectives and Tangram Pictures!
Today in Logical Exploration, we continued our exploration of 2D shapes! We began by revisiting Shape Song 2, reviewing the names of the different shapes we have been learning and practising how to identify them by counting their sides. From familiar triangles and squares to some of our more complicated shapes, the children had plenty of opportunities to strengthen their shape recognition skills! 🎵🌟
Next, it was time to become shape detectives! 🔎🎨 The children were given a picture made up of lots of different 2D shapes. Their challenge was to carefully identify and count the shapes before colouring them according to a specific colour code. This activity encouraged the children to look closely at the different shapes, practise accurate counting and follow instructions carefully, all while creating a colourful picture!
We then moved on to something a little different with tangrams! Using triangles, squares and parallelograms, the children explored how different shapes can be combined to create new pictures and designs. They then practised drawing their creations, developing their spatial awareness and understanding of how shapes fit together. 🔺✏
Tangrams are a wonderful way to encourage problem-solving, creativity and logical thinking. By moving, rotating and combining different shapes, the children can begin to recognise how simple shapes can be used to build much more complicated pictures. It was a lovely hands-on way to bring our 2D shape learning together! 😊👏
We’ve had a great day of learning, with plenty of opportunities to revisit familiar skills, explore new challenges and express our creativity. It’s wonderful to see the children continuing to develop their confidence as we build on everything we’ve been learning throughout the week!
Have a lovely evening, everyone! 💛😊✨
亲爱的家长朋友们，大家好🌹🌹🌹
🌟今天的PBL探究课，我们从《兔宝宝挑食》的小故事开启探索：兔宝宝只爱吃小豆和玉米粒，不愿听从妈妈的劝告，长期挑食之后身体感到不适。经过猴子医生检查，发现兔宝宝是因为饮食单一，体内缺乏维生素C。
🌟课堂上，孩子们积极开动脑筋，一起帮兔宝宝出谋划策，明白了多吃新鲜蔬菜与水果，能够补充身体所需的维生素。大家主动联结自己的生活经验，有小朋友总结道：爱吃的食物可以多吃一点，有营养的食物，都要勇敢尝一尝。结合午餐进餐的亲身体验，孩子们也懂得了餐盘中每一种菜肴都值得尝试。老师也为今天每一位认真进餐、不挑食的宝贝点赞👍
🌟同时也要跟家长分享，宝贝们在幼儿园的饮水习惯也非常的棒！我们通过小动物喝水模仿小游戏，让喝水变得有趣，帮助宝贝慢慢养成主动饮水的好习惯。
温馨提示：近期天气逐渐转凉，从下周起，请家长为宝贝准备保温杯入园。生活老师每日中午会帮忙清洗水杯，更换温水，守护宝贝饮水健康❤
