We have been playing different games to help secure rhyming . Learners have appeared to enjoy snap and a memory game , learners were encouraged to find a card they like then find the corresponding rhyming card. “Cat,hat.””bag,flag. “”Phone,bone”funwithrhyming

A huge thank you to our parents for participating in our weekly healthy snack sessions through NHS Forth Valley. #makeandtaste

Learners were recognising, making number lines and making big numbers today. Learner N”two and two 22” Learner L”need one and one for 11” Leraner C”I’m making 449” #earlymaths

[StSerfsELC @SerfsSt]

Some of our younger learners were developing their listening skills and with some support they were following instructions to make cakes #lifeskills #earlyliteracy

[StSerfsELC @SerfsSt]

We have also been exploring forces in the construction area. We practiced throwing beanbags into hoops and practiced our numeracy skills. We also did a floating and sinking experiment and practiced our predicting skills to determine what foods would float and sink. #forces

Learners practice to recognise numicon numbers and making numbers from 1 to 20. Also they were doing finger patterns. Learner E”I made 17” learner M”look it’s 10, 9, 8, 4, 2 and 3”. Learner T “it’s 4 I made 4.” Learner L”it’s 14, 15, 16, 17” #earlymaths

In the construction area we have been exploring our gross motor skills. This week we have been learning about cross midline activities to help our brain development and coordination. Learners have been practising cross the midline activities and yoga poses. #crossmidline #brain

[StSerfsELC @SerfsSt]

Learners were revisiting their pizza recipe and could remember most of the ingredients. Learner M “we need flour and oil Learner L “I can make a circle in the bowl”. Learner D “This is squishy” Learner T “It’s sticky, I need flour”.

Learners continue to explore gross motor skills and forces in construction. Today we were experimenting with objects that travel down the ramp slow and fast and found that some objects don’t move at all. Learner V then decided to make a “bigger ramp” and peers joined in. #forces

Thank you to everyone who attended our Early Language and Communication Tea party this morning. Our families enjoyed our event focusing on communication at mealtimes, in particular, Makaton. We look forward to seeing everyone back for our next event next year. #makaton

Learners in the ELC have revisited writing their own books. After some discussion learner T requested a rainbow book . “You need different colours to make a rainbow book.” Learner T made a book about his birthday. #earlyliteracy. #creativity.

Yesterday learners had gloop in the tray to support fine motor skills. “This is the best day ever!” A “it’s strawberry sauce!” E #finemotors
