Transportation
(Modes of transportation)
Currently, our school's theme is transportation. As an introduction, our children in Nursery One class will be focusing on the topic 'Modes of Transportation'. We started off by creating an e-storybook, where we included transportation that children will be most familiar with. In this lesson, our children learnt about the different types of vehicles that are frequently spotted by children on their way to school. Children were then encouraged to count the number of vehicles found in the activity sheet.
In the next lesson, we will be exploring how to make vehicles using different shapes.
Children will be able to:
-
Count up to eight using one-to-one correspondence, with reference from the pictures in the activity sheet.
-
Identify the colours of the vehicles shown in the e-storybook.

Facilitating
Ms Nazifa educated children on road safety by asking questions if it was safe to cross the road when the traffic light was red. Moreover, she added the actual sounds of the vehicles to allow children to better relate to the vehicles. When children could not recognise the sounds, she played the audio, loud and clear again. Lastly, she recapped the vehicles introduced in the book, using non-verbal actions and by imitating sounds of vehicles. These guided children identify vehicles and their sounds better.

Teacher Nazifa is seen asking “Did we skip any number in between?”, and giving time for children to think of ways to count up to six. The time given and questions asked, prompted children to use their fingers to help them count.
