LKG - Theme 10
Theme-Seasons
Learning Outcomes:
Language Development

• Listen to stories; join in to sing songs and rhymes
• Describe their faviourite season
• Recognize the letter, its phonetic sound and write ‘K’, ‘e’, ‘E’, ‘h’, ‘H’ and ‘r’
• Represent learning; pretend writing/ making marks and ascribing meaning to them
• Practice basic strokes with anti clockwise movements and vertical lines

• Notices differences between local environment
Words in focus: seasons, summer, sun, heat, mango, melon, lady finger, rain, clouds, rainbow, umbrella, winter, cold, fog, snow, apple, orange, carrot, peas, spring, flowers, bloom, butterflies, bees
Concept:
This theme will build awareness in children about the changing season and how it effects us and our environment. In all the things that we do, the kind of clothes we wear, the fruits and vegetables that we eat… in other words the seasons affect our everyday lives and is an important part of our world. Beginning with the hot sweltering heat of the summer season, the yellow, bright sunlight and the cool pool splash fun, to mouthwatering mangoes and juicy water melons rolling into the washed world of monsoon showers and greenery in abundance….ending with the onset of cold winds, bonfires and woolen clothes bringing in the winter season that does not last too long….and then the beautiful season of spring time….an abundance of colours, clear blue skies and sprouting of new leaves on trees….That makes the four seasons complete. The awareness is created through classroom settings, role-play, stories and fun activities that are designed to encourage free expression and creativity. The theme “seasons” gives them an understanding of the ever changing environment and the patterns in nature.

• Number: 41-50 (Quantitative approach using dot cards)
Knowledge and understanding of the world
• Observe shapes in real life objects in and around the environment
• Solve simple problems
Concept: Geometric shapes are all around us, in the building we live in, the cars we travel in and even in the food we eat. Children recognize these shapes early even if they do not know the correct vocabulary to name the different shapes they see. Children have informal knowledge of geometry during the early years. To build on this, activities are designed around development of appropriate vocabulary and opportunities to practice identifying geometric shapes in the classroom and the real world. This will also help the children to informally begin developing their concept of special sense.
This theme is intended to build awareness in children and motivate them to observe, differentiate, compare and relate different shapes they notice in and around their environment. They will be encouraged to use shape related vocabulary to describe. They will also, through exploring and exposure begins to name and identify differences in shapes. As children use two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes during this theme, they engage in different activities that require them to begin to take a closer look at shapes. What make a square a square? What makes a cube a cube? How are squares different from triangles?
You can support your child’s learning by playing the game “I spy” with him or her. Pick an object that you can see. Give clues about the shape of the object. Have your child guess what object you are describing. Start with easy clues and move to more difficult clues.
Words in focus: circle, square, triangle, star, semi-circle, rectangle

Learning Outcomes:
Language Development
• Use vocabulary related to the theme
• Listen actively and attentively
• Participate in group discussions
• Enjoy rhymes/ alliteration
• Listen to stories
• Participate in games of phonetic awareness (oddity tasks)
• Recognise the letter, its phonetic sound and write ‘t’, ‘T’ and ‘i’

• Introduction and recognition and representation of the number 4
• Explore shapes
• Compare time without measuring
• Fix four-six jigsaw puzzles
• Sort
• Number: 41-50 (Quantitative approach using dot cards)
Knowledge and understanding of the world
• Mix primary colours to get secondary colours
Concept: When light hits objects, some of the wavelengths are absorbed and some are reflected, depending on the materials in the object. The reflected wavelengths are what we perceive as the object’s colour. To children, colour is one of the most attractive qualities of the visual world, from the subtle colours of the natural world to the bright colours of their toys, clothes and books.
This theme exposes children to the wonderful and magical world of colours. Our class will be conducting activities with paint. Your child will enjoy exploring its fluid nature, as well as how it mixes to make different colours. In addition to painting, children will experience many activities including colour matching and sorting games.
It is important that your child has access to wide variety of paints, colour materials, artistic tools and opportunities to explore their expressive possibilities. You can expand your child’s experiences of colours and textures by exploring crayons, markers, paints, pastels, paper, fabric collages and three-dimensional models with your child. In the beginning, you may notice your child using colour relationship to the object or figure. As they mature they will use colour more naturalistically through observation and exposure.
Words in focus: red, yellow, blue, green, orange, purple, rainbow, tortoise, teeth, trees, tomato, tooth brush, tooth paste, tap, inside, Incy, ink pot, Iqbal

Knowledge and understanding of the world
• Mix primary colours to get secondary colours
Concept: When light hits objects, some of the wavelengths are absorbed and some are reflected, depending on the materials in the object. The reflected wavelengths are what we perceive as the object’s colour. To children, colour is one of the most attractive qualities of the visual world, from the subtle colours of the natural world to the bright colours of their toys, clothes and books.
This theme exposes children to the wonderful and magical world of colours. Our class will be conducting activities with paint. Your child will enjoy exploring its fluid nature, as well as how it mixes to make different colours. In addition to painting, children will experience many activities including colour matching and sorting games.
It is important that your child has access to wide variety of paints, colour materials, artistic tools and opportunities to explore their expressive possibilities. You can expand your child’s experiences of colours and textures by exploring crayons, markers, paints, pastels, paper, fabric collages and three-dimensional models with your child. In the beginning, you may notice your child using colour relationship to the object or figure. As they mature they will use colour more naturalistically through observation and exposure.

In this theme, your child will learn where butterflies come from. They will learn about the life cycle of a butterfly and begin making connections to the greater idea that all living things have a life cycle.
Butterflies go through four stages of life, but they only look like butterflies in the final stage.
You can support your child’s learning in this theme by taking your child on a nature walk. Stop and look under leaves and in the braches. See if you can find eggs, a caterpillar, a pupa or a butterfly.

My house
In my bedroom I go to sleep,
From the window my friends can peep.
In my kitchen my mama cooks,
Oh! How good the cake looks!
(Yummy, yummy, yummy)
In the living room I watch T.V and play,
I sit with my family everyday.
When I am hungry, to the dining room I run,
Eating together is so much fun.
When I need to be clean and nice,
I run to the bathroom, Oh! The water is cold as ice!
(Shiver, shiver, shiver)

There was an old women
Who lived in a shoe
She had so many children
She didn’t know what to do.
She gave them some soup
And slices of bread
She hugged them and kissed them
And put them to bed
