This week Pre K B has been very busy. We have been practising the song for the YEP "It's a jolly holiday with Mary", the children are definitely starting to pick up the words!
In maths, we did adding and subtracting using playdough. I also taught the children how to count on quickly from ten so that they can get better at adding numbers over 10. Many children still use their fingers which becomes difficult with numbers over 10.
We used blocks of 10 joined together and single ones to learn how to do this. We have also been practising counting up to 100 and down from 100. Here's the video we use to practise:

On Tuesday we played a fishing game to practise our sight words. See the pictures BELOW. In phonics we did the /oa/ and /oi/ dipthongs. Our sight words for this week are: under, well, soon and came. I have checked the children's ability to recognise the Pre Primer sight words and most children did well. As we have finished the Primer List now, we will be focusing on getting better at those words by looking at each sound in the word to help them read it.
In inquiry, we designed our own Lego character using a template. Some children did superheroes, some did pirates, and others just did normal people. We also used a simple beat from the Queen song "We will rock you" and built our own percussion songs from that.
On Wednesday our class read with our buddy class grade 2. The Pre K kids read a RAZ book and the other students read a picture book story to them.
As this Saturday is the start of a Chinese New Year, some of our Chinese-speaking family members came in on Friday to help us make a dragon from coloured paper. We also watched a video about the food and celebrations that are part of Chinese New Year and learnt a few words in Mandarin.
