World of Exploration and Discovery
Our ‘Centres Room’ is a world of exploration and discovery. In it, you will find 5 different centres: Math Centre, Writing Centre, Science Centre, Reading Centre and Design Centre.
We take turns to work in twos or threes at each centre. We are rotated to a new centre every day. Each week, we get to work with different friends, and we are given new tasks to do with them.
Here are some examples of our tasks:
Writing Centre: (Week 1) Complete the letter cards. (Week 2) Write fun sentences with the words we have learned.
Reading Centre: (Week 1) Choose a book that looks interesting and share the story with your partner. (Week 2) Match letters to word cards.
Math Centre: (Week 1) Complete number cards and match numbers to objects. (Week 2) Play number dominoes!
Science Centre: (Week 1) Research and talk about your favourite animal. (Week 2) Explore forces: magnets and weighing.
Design Centre: (Week 1) Design a castle using Legos and tell us about it. (Week 2) Design necklaces with cool patterns!
A big part of Centres Time is knowing how to tidy up your centre! Smiley Face stickers are earned for completing tasks well.
