following the child's interest


Francisco is matching the colour tablets.  Like many of the Montessori activities this appeals to children's desire for order and their love of matching.


Weston is doing 'classified cards'.  We have a variety of different categories - types of flowers, food, sports, animals and, of course, vehicles! The purpose of the cards is to enlarge and enrich vocabulary and also to pique their interest in their environment beyond school.



Lucy and I are playing a sound game.  After lining up the animals I wrote the first letter of each animal and helped her match the sound to the animal.
