Christmas baubles

Sophie tried her best to look for some Christmas baubles in the tank. When she finally found one she came to me and said "I find one!" Sophie was extremely happy.

Jelli baff

Sophie was very keen on exploring the 'jelli-baff' in the tuff spot. She was scooping some jellies using her hands and was also playing with the animals. Her teacher asked her how the jelly felt in her hands and she answered, "cold."

Construction site role play

Sophie enjoyed using the funnel to fill the cement mixer with sand, beans and pebbles. Sophie was interested pushing the sand down the funnel and making sure it all got into the cement mixer.  She pointed at the wheel on the cement mixer and said "It go round."

Maths area

Sophie played with the abacus with me.  I asked her to point to the coloured beads and to count them one by one.  Sophie could identify the different colours and also counted from from 1-10!  Well done, Sophie!  

Mark- making area

Sophie drew many circles on the black card with a chalk. She named the colour of the chalk she used in English. She said "circle" when I asked her what was she drawing.

Clever Sophie

Sophie was at the Reading Area enjoying an alphabet picture book.  She browsed through the pages and stopped from time to time to tell me the different animals, food, and things shown on the book.  She really enjoyed telling me what she could see on the book.  Very clever, Sophie!  Well done!  

At Mark Making Area

Sophie used the marker and drew something on the laminated paper. She called me and showed me her drawing.  ”Ms Thuy, a sheep!” in Vietnamese. She told me where is the head, the body , the eyes and the tail clearly. 

Retelling a Story

Sophie played with the velcro Gildilocks and the Three Bears story. She was able to retell parts of the story very well. Well done Sophie!

"Goldilocks here!"

"Yummy yum yummy!"

"Eat no more! Oh no! No more for baby! (Pertaining to the small bowl of porridge)"

"Mummy bear! Goldilocks!" 

"Oh dear!"

"Baby bear sit!"

"Where is Daddy Bear?"

Reading area

Sophie asked me to read two books to her today in the Reading area. She chose 'David gets in Trouble' and 'My Dad!'. Afternsharing those stories with her, she got more books and browsed through them excitedly. She pointed at some pictures and asked me "What?"

         

The quick and easy cook book for kids

Sophie took a cook book from the shelf. She turned each page one by one and looked at the photos. Sophie then asked, 'what it is?' and repeated after Ms Precious 'mushrooms'. She also pointed to chocolate and said 'This, chocolate. Yum yum yum yum!'

Jasper's Beanstalk

Sophie took the book Jasper's Beanstalk from the shelf in our reading area. She then turned the page one by one, sometimes several at once and looked at the photos. Sophie said:

-'More. No More.'

-'What's this?'

-'Finish.'

Vocabulary

Sophie got the non-fiction book about transport. She then came to me and asked "What's this?" She was pointing at the picture whilst asking the question. After I answered her, she went to Ms Clarissa and asked "What's that?" (Pointing at the same picture)

            

Constructing a High Tower

Sophie had a good time at the Construction Area today.  With the Duplo pieces, she constructed different tall structures.  When I asked what she was making, she said "tower!".  I then asked, "Is it a high tower?"; and Sophie said "High tower!".  Afterwards, Sophie got a Lego sheep piece and put it on top of her tower.  Whilst doing this, she said "Put, put, put!".  Great work Sophie!  

Building interstars

Sophie played with interstars on the carpet. She looked at some animal photos and chose a photo of a mouse to make.
Sophie:   What is it? (VN)
Ms Tam: It's a  mouse.
She looked for some interstar pieces to make a mouse. She also made its sound " Squeak...squeak.."

Quack quack!

Sophie took a scarf and asked Ms Clarissa to help her put it on her head. Ms Precious saw her and said ""quack quack!"! Sophie then copied Ms Precious and started making a quacking sound! What a lovely duck! :)

Construction area.

Sophie played with cars in Construction area in play ground.
" Where is your car?", I asked.
"My green car is at home", she said.
( The conversation was in Vietnamese)
After that, she lined up the cars.

Water tray

Sophie pointed  to frogs and said "ech op" (frog). She put frogs and ducks on a lily leaf and moved them around.

Fish alive!

Sophie had a fantastic time today at the Investigation Area. She took a fishing net and used it to explore the fish tank. Ms Precious started singing the 'Fish Alive' song and Sophie joined in saying by copying some counting words. She said 'One. Two.' What a great start!⭐
