Introduction to Revision of Transport
Good morning students, I hope this finds you all well and fine at home. As your class teacher, we are currently working on a team project focused on safety, and today's topic is the revision of transport. We have already covered this subject before, but it's essential that we revisit and reinforce our understanding of the concept to ensure a solid foundation.
Transport: A Crucial Aspect of Global Trade
So, what exactly is transport? Simply put, it refers to the movement of goods and humans from one location to another with the aim of developing trade between countries. This process involves various modes of transportation, including land, water, and air. Land transport encompasses vehicles such as buses, cars, motorcycles, and even airplanes like our craft project later today. Water transport includes boats, ships, and other vessels that navigate through oceans and rivers.
Crafting a Plane with Ice-Cream Sticks
To make this concept more engaging and interactive, we will be creating a paper plane using ice-cream sticks and glue. Firstly, we fix the ice-cream sticks together as shown in the picture. Then, with the help of glue, we decorate our plane using craft materials. Students can get creative and add their own unique touches to make their plane stand out. This hands-on activity will not only demonstrate our understanding of land transport but also foster teamwork and problem-solving skills.
Counting Rhymes: A Fun Way to Learn Numbers
To learn numbers from 1 to 15, we will recite a fun counting rhyme together. The rhyme goes like this: "one, two buckle my shoe, one, two, knock at the door, five, six pick up sticks, seven, eight lay them straight, nine, ten a big fat hen." By repeating this rhyme, students can easily remember numbers in sequence. We will also practice writing these numbers on our worksheets as part of our homework.
Workbook Pages 68 and 16:9
To reinforce our understanding of the counting concept, we have two workbook pages that require attention. Page 68 displays numbers from 11 to 15, which students must trace and write without tracing. Meanwhile, page 16:9 presents these same numbers again, this time with a focus on writing them correctly. By completing these tasks, students will solidify their grasp of numbers up to 15.
Counting Exercises in the Icon Explorer Book
For our next activity, we'll be using the icon explorer book to practice counting exercises. We'll count and match objects with corresponding numbers, starting from number 14 and moving down to 13. This hands-on approach will help students develop their counting skills in a fun and engaging way.
Drawing Vehicles: A Creative Outlet
Finally, as a creative outlet, we encourage students to draw any vehicle of their choice using paper and pencil. The picture should be drawn on a sheet, followed by coloring the vehicle once it's complete. This activity allows students to express themselves while learning about different types of vehicles that fall under land transport.
Homework Assignments
Before concluding today's session, we need to assign some homework tasks to reinforce our understanding of the transportation concepts covered today. Phase numbers 68 and 69 in our workbook are essential for further practice, as well as page 73 in the icon explorer book. Additionally, students should try making their own paper planes using craft materials at home and decorating them with creativity.
Conclusion
In conclusion, today's session has been an engaging exploration of transport concepts through interactive activities and counting rhymes. By completing these exercises, students have demonstrated a solid understanding of numbers from 1 to 15. As we move forward with our safety team project, it is essential that we continue to reinforce these foundational skills to ensure success.
