Learning numeracy skills

The bluebells children were engaged in a counting activity and learnt about numbers. The educator gave the children bottle lids and a counting board made on a piece of cardboard.
The children counted the lids as they placed them on the respective numbers. Some children were able to count up to eleven and some children even recognised the numbers written on board.
The bottle lids help children visualise what the numbers mean, 1 bottle lid for 1 and 2 bottle lids for 2 and so on. Such activities reinforces the physical meaning of the numbers 1 to 5 and enhanced their fine motor skills and hand eye coordination at the same time.
As part of our program this week is subjective to national recycling week, the resources we used were all recyclable for this activity.

Exploring Nature Through collecting

The Kinder 1 children decided to go outside and collect natural materials for their activity. They gathered tanbarks and leaves from the yard, discussing what they were collecting and how much they had gathered.
This connection with nature is important because it helps children develop a sense of environmental awareness and a deeper understanding of the world around them. Through this activity, they not only practiced teamwork and communication as they shared their findings, but also developing their observation skills by noticing different textures, shapes, and colors of the materials. This hands-on experience fosters their curiosity and promotes a sense of responsibility for nature.
