Piccoli Nursery School/Kleuterskool

Hoe verduidelik jy Vrouedag aan jou kleuter?🌸💛

Vrouedag is 'n wonderlike geleentheid om ons kinders te leer dat elke mens na God se beeld geskape is en daarom met liefde, respek en waardigheid behandel behoort te word. Dit is ook 'n dag om dankie te sê vir die mammas, oumas, tannies, juffrouens en versorgers wat elke dag 'n verskil in kinders se lewens maak.

Blaai deur ons carousel vir 'n eenvoudige manier om hierdie belangrike gesprek saam met jou kleinding te voer. 💛

Aan al die ongelooflike vroue in ons Piccoli-familie: Gelukkige Vrouedag! Dankie vir julle liefde, omgee en die groot rol wat julle in die volgende geslag se lewens speel. Mag die Here julle ryklik seën.

Vriendelike herinnering: Maandag is 'n openbare vakansiedag. Ons sien uit daarna om al ons Piccoli-maatjies weer Dinsdag by die skool te verwelkom!🇿🇦

Build with Matchsticks 🔥

For this week's Slim Speletjie we're building shapes and patterns using matchsticks! This simple activity helps little ones develop spatial awareness, problem-solving, and memory skills through fun, hands-on play.

Step 1:
Gather a box of matchsticks (or wooden craft sticks) and a few picture or pattern cards to copy.

Step 2:
Choose a pattern card and use the matchsticks to recreate the pattern as accurately as possible.

Step 3:
Remove the pattern card and see if you can rebuild the same shape next to your original creation from memory.

Step 4:
Repeat the activity with different patterns and challenge yourself to rely less on the pattern card each time.

Learning Outcomes 🌱
•⁠ ⁠Develops fine motor skills and finger control.
• Strengthens hand-eye coordination.
• Improves spatial awareness and visual perception.
• Encourages logical thinking and problem-solving.
• Develops memory, concentration, and perseverance.
• Introduces early mathematical concepts such as shapes, patterns

Probeer hierdie slim speletjie gerus by die huis en deel julle skeppings met ons! 🤍

Luister en Skryf 👋🎨

Vir die week se slim speletjie oefen ons luistervaardighede, syferherkenning en nommerbou met vingerverf! Hierdie eenvoudige aktiwiteit kan tuis aangepas word om enige nommer te oefen, van noodnommers tot Mamma of Pappa se selfoonnommer.

Stap 1: Smeer 'n dun lagie vingerverf op 'n tafel of ander gladde oppervlak.

Stap 2: Sê 'n nommer hardop, een syfer op 'n slag. Laat jou kleuter mooi luister. Laat jou kleuter die nommer met hul vinger in die verf skryf.

Stap 3: Herhaal die aktiwiteit totdat jou kleuter die nommer met selfvertroue kan skryf. Julle kan ook Mamma of Pappa se selfoonnommer, noodnommers of ander belangrike nommers oefen.

Leeruitkomste 🌱
• Ontwikkel luister- en konsentrasievaardighede.
• Oefen syferherkenning en nommerbou.
• Versterk geheue deur syfers te hoor en te onthou.
• Ontwikkel fyn motoriese vaardighede deur met vingers te skryf.
• Bevorder hand-oog koördinasie.
• Bou selfvertroue deur spelgebaseerde leer.

Listen & Write
For this week's slim speletjie we're practising listening skills, number recognition and number formation with finger paint! This simple activity can easily be adapted at home to practise any number, from emergency numbers to Mom or Dad's cell number.

Step 1: Spread a thin layer of finger paint on a table or other smooth surface.

Step 2: Say a number out loud, one digit at a time. Let your little one listen carefully, then write the number in the paint using their finger.

Step 3: Repeat the activity until your little one can write the number with confidence. You can also practise Mom or Dad's cell number, emergency numbers, or any other important numbers.

Learning outcomes 🌱
• Develops listening and concentration skills.
• Practises number recognition and number formation.
• Strengthens memory by hearing and recalling digits.
• Develops fine motor skills through finger writing.
• Promotes hand-eye coordination.
• Builds confidence through play-based learning.

Remember to save this post for when it's time to learn new numbers 🥰

Hierdie week se slim speletjie 💖🥣

Hierdie week het ons maatjies getalle ontdek deur speelse, praktiese leer! Ons het graankringetjies gebruik om nommers te bou en te volg.

Here is the step by step:
Step 1: Choose or create number cards with large digits. You can easily print these at home.
Step 2: Take a few handfuls of cereal loops (Otees) and place them in a bowl or plate for use.
Step 3: Follow the shape of the numbers and build them neatly using the loops.
Step 4: Count out loud together while building the numbers.

Learning outcomes 🌱
• Number recognition and formation
• Development of fine motor skills
• Hand-eye coordination
• Early maths skills such as counting and quantity understanding
• Concentration and task completion

Send this to someone who is looking for a way to keep their little one educated and entertained. You can easily adapt the game and make it "more difficult" by allowing your little one to count the amount of Otees used in the number as well.

Ons hoop julle geniet die week se slim speletjie!🧡
