This week we have explored the Nursery Rhyme Baa Baa Black sheep. We used our senses to explore the properties of wool and created a senses chart. We discovered that we have 5 senses; sight, sound, hearing, smell and touch. We found that wool can be felt, seen and smelt. These are our describing words for our wool sensory chart.
 Looks Like * Wool * Fat * Long * Little * White * Sheep wool |  Feels Like * Soft * Squishy * Smooth * Light * Fluffy * Warm |  Smells Like * wool |

We also explored colours and looked at the colours in a rainbow. We discovered there are 7 colours in a rainbow and they make the name ROY G BIV
RED ORANGE YELLOW GREEN BLUE INDIGO VIOLET.
We then retold our experiment as a class using a when, where, who, what, how and why procedure. This is our class retell.
Pre-Primary Two's Rainbow Experiment
Yesterday in the afternoon we made a rainbow outside our class on the grass area. We made our rainbow using a glass prism. We held the prism towards the sun to let the light shine through it. We learnt there are seven different colours in rainbow.
Mathematics
In Maths we have been exploring the concept of sharing objects. We help the farmer share his sheep into the paddocks. When we share we move one objects at a time and keep going until all the objects have been used.
We also helped the farmer to sort his sheep into largest to smallest. We then counted the total number of sheep. When we count we need to remember to point to only one object at a time.
We are focussing on recognising numbers to 20 and clearing writing numbers to 10.
Literacy
In Literacy we are continuing to look at oral language and make sure we use full sentences and correct tense. We need to make sure we speak clearly and look at the person we are speaking to.
We also used our predicting skills to predict stories based on their front cover and title. We looked at the conventions of a text and pointed to the words in the story as Mrs Beale read the book.
We are getting much better at detecting initial sounds in words, clapping their syllables and detecting and producing rhyme.
