Today, the Pre-kinder children started their lesson with a nice little walk. Then a hop, run, tip-toe, swim, and finally a small nap.
Some like to move by themselves, whilst others like to take a more relaxed walk with a friend.
The children are starting to understand and follow simple instructions. Sit down on the mat, for example. Once sat, they sang the “Hello” song and said how they felt.
Happy!
Next was a quick practice of the weather. They enjoy saying the weather and give it some good energy.
After that, we practiced counting. They are great at counting to 10, so today we tried going to 12.
We tried counting things around the room. Numbers on a clock, months, and craft posters they had made.
We then played a slap the ground game. First the followed the teacher.
Not forgetting to stop when they get to the last number.
Then it was their turn to suggest numbers. They were not shy.
After sitting for a while, it was time to move to “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes.”
They touch very well, and are starting to sing parts as well, which is great.
The children then practiced this month’s vocabulary, ‘Fruit and Vegetables’. They had to first choose a card.
They then had to say the vocabulary for that picture. They already knew most of the fruit so had no problems.
Everyone enjoyed having a go.
Again, we followed the sitting with some movement. This time pretending to be animals. Kangaroos, monkeys, birds, and fish.
It’s calm swimming until a shark comes along.
And with that, it was time to say good-bye. The children are becoming more vocal with English, and starting to produce by themselves instead of of just repeating. Great job, everyone.
