GELC Play-based Learning
In GELC Play-based learning children actively engage with people, objects and the environment. When playing, children may be organising, constructing, manipulating, pretending, exploring, investigating, creating, interacting, imagining, negotiating and making sense of their worlds. It promotes a broad range of literacy and numeracy skills and the teachers use the play in speaking and writing activities.
The language of Maths
Students enjoy playing games to help learn the vocabulary of mathematics. We use blocks and counters to solve addition and subtraction problems.
Writing
We are writing recounts and retells this term and we are working on sequencing events and sentence construction.
'Wildlife Exposure' Incursion
