• We learnt that during Fall Changes,
leaves change color from green to
yellow, red brown and white.
ACTIVITIES:
 We read and identified A-Z.
 Played letter hunt games and
fixed puzzles.
 Some of us are writing A-F, AM accordingly.
 We know and can say phonic
sound of letters /a/-/m/
 We can also identify objects
that begin with these sounds.
GROSS AND FINE MOTOR
To help develop our small and large muscles, we acted as falling
leaves, jumped obstacle courses, jogged, rolled dough, cut with
scissors and did lots of tracing work.

DISCOVERY
& THINKING SKILLS
We discovered that raw food
changes texture when
exposed to heat and that a
shape can be made from
another shape. We identified
long and short, heavy and
light objects. We grouped
objects according to colors
and shapes.
MATH
We counted and
identified numbers
1 - 30, fixed puzzles
and played number
games. Some of us
can write 1 - 4, 1 5, 1 - 10 and 1 - 20
respectively.
