Counting Cubes & Searching for Letters!

It’s been a fantastic fun filled 2 weeks in preschool as the children have settled back in following the Christmas break and have been getting stuck in to all the activities on offer. Isabelle and Eloise really enjoyed creating number lines with the counting cubes. Eloise quickly added cubes along her line; packing them tightly together to fit as many as possible. When she was finished she counted her cubes and excitedly told Isabelle “I have ten cubes in my line!”. Isabelle replied “I am doing the longest line, I wonder how many there will be!”. She stretched across the table as she added the last cubes to her number line and worked together with Eloise to count how many she had used. The two of them counted the cubes all the way to thirty, with only a little help. Isabelle proudly exclaimed “Wow! That is so many!” The Children also had a great time creating snowflake artwork to display in the preschool room. Matilda used a cotton bud to make lots of dots on her piece of paper and told her friends “Look at my one, there are lots of snowflakes!” Harry, however, used a paint brush and made big sweeping motions with his brush to cover his paper in blue paint. He showed his snowflake to Arlo, saying “My snowflake is really big!”

Out in the garden, Isabelle, India and Isla had fun investigating an intriguing activity in the tough tray. The three of them used their magnifying glasses to examine the tray, looking at lots of little letters that had been scattered around, in search of letters from their names. India then suddenly said “Look, it’s ‘I’ for India!” Isabelle quickly replied “That’s in my name too!” Isla then added “And me too! But my sister has ‘A’ for Ada.” The three of them searched a while longer for the letters of their brothers and sisters’ names and invited even more friends to search for theirs as well!
