Wednesday 14 November

We talked about communicating the idea of another country to very young children.
Maps or a globe would help. We talked about the distance between France and Scotland and ways of getting there.

We worked on colours using bricks - say and show "rouge" pass the parcel with the bricks, fruit salad game. We tried the number rhymes on p22. These are in English. The idea is to associate a visual image including a colour with a rhyme. This is excellent training for remembering things generally.

We continued numbers up to 10. Songs from p19 and track 7

We did days of the week using Sparkle box flashcards.

Helen said she couldn't download the audio. I managed ok. On a mac hold down ctrl and "download link target" Sorry I don't do PC!

We also spent some time talking about the international dimension. You can apply for an East Ayrshire excellence award for international education. Flowerbank will receive theirs soon!
