Today we learned different names of transport and talked about the weather.

Car; bus; tractor; lorry, van; aeroplane; motorbike and boat.

We used this new vocabulary in sentences and do actions to help us remember eg. Drive your car; ride your motorbike; fly your aeroplane; row your boat; drive your tractor etc.

I used sentences to help them understand eg I have a black car. I asked what colour of car they have.

We sang 'Row row row your boat' song to teach the word boat. (Idea for next week, use the same song to teach drive your car down the road for example.)

Cut out pictures of different transport and stick them in the right box with the right name.

I made a blank book from paper and card asked the two sisters to make up a story together. The oldest sister would write and the younger one would draw.
We worked on the book cover and the first page. Each week we'll do a new page. When it's finished the children will take it home and the older sister can read it for the younger one.
