Course Introduction: Lower Nursery Maths – Exploring Rolling and Sliding
Welcome to Lower Nursery Maths, where we embark on an exciting journey of discovery and learning for our youngest learners! In this course, we will delve into the fascinating world of motion, specifically focusing on the concepts of rolling and sliding.
Course Overview:
Our Lower Nursery Maths course is designed to introduce your child to basic mathematical concepts in a fun and interactive manner. Through hands-on activities, engaging games, and colorful visuals, we aim to foster a love for learning and lay a strong foundation for future mathematical understanding.
Theme: Exploring Rolling and Sliding
This segment of our course centers around the theme of motion, specifically the movements of objects as they roll and slide. These fundamental concepts not only contribute to the understanding of physics but also lay the groundwork for spatial awareness and early mathematical thinking.
Learning Objectives:
1. Identify Rolling and Sliding: Students will learn to distinguish between objects that roll and those that slide. Through play-based activities, they will develop a keen observational skill to recognize different types of motion.
2. Hands-On Exploration: Our curriculum emphasizes hands-on exploration. Children will have the opportunity to manipulate objects, experiment with different surfaces, and observe the various ways items move.
3. Vocabulary Development: The course aims to build a foundational vocabulary related to motion. Children will learn words like roll, slide, push, pull, and observe how these actions are connected to the movement of objects.
4. Develop Motor Skills: Engaging in activities that involve rolling and sliding helps in the development of fine and gross motor skills. From rolling balls to sliding objects along surfaces, children will enhance their coordination and control.
5. Teamwork and Communication: Collaborative activities will encourage teamwork and communication skills. Through group play, children will share their observations, exchange ideas, and develop social skills in a supportive environment.
Assessment:
Assessment in Lower Nursery Maths is primarily observational. Teachers will observe each child’s participation, engagement, and grasp of the concepts during various activities and play sessions. Assessment is designed to be low-pressure, ensuring that learning is a positive and enjoyable experience.
Parental Involvement:
We encourage parents to actively participate in their child’s learning journey. Regular updates on the topics covered, suggested home activities, and tips for reinforcing concepts will be provided to create a seamless bridge between school and home learning.
Get ready for a joyful adventure as we roll and slide into the world of Lower Nursery Maths! We’re excited to witness the growth, curiosity, and enthusiasm that will unfold as your child explores the wonders of motion. Let the learning begin.
