Maths
MAe-4NA Counts to 30, and orders, reads and represents numbers in the range 0 to 20
MAe-2WM Uses objects, actions, technology and/ or trial and error to explore mathematical problems
MAe-1WM Describes mathematical situations using everyday language, actions, materials, and informal recordings
1 Maths MA1-4NA Applies place value, informally, to count, order, read and represent two- and three-digit
numbers
MA1-2WM Uses objects diagrams and technology to explore mathematical problems
MA1-3WM Supports conclusions by explaining or demonstrating how answers were obtained
Main Lesson Aim;
In this Main Lesson, students will explore the meaning of numbers in a threefold way: first through movement, clapping, stamping and singing number patterns and rhymes; then through story, which allows the child to feel and reflect on the concepts presented, in a form that appeals to their imagination; then through the thinking, by drawing/writing the numeral and its individual quality/quantity in their books.
Objectives: Kindy
By introducing both Roman numerals and Arabic numerals through pictorial description, the students explore not only the quantity but als1o the quality of numbers from 1- 12.
Count to 30 in songs and games
Class One
Through clapping and movement and song games, the children will learn to count in patterns.
To count to 100 forward and backwards

ESES 1.6 Explores and identifies ways the environment influences their daily lives.
INVESI 1.7 Investigates their surroundings by observing, questioning, exploring and reporting.
1 Science LTS 1.3 Identifies and describes ways in which living things grow and change.
ESES 1.6 Explores and identifies ways the environment influences their daily lives.
INVSI 1.7 Conducts guided investigations by observing, questioning, predicting, collecting and recording data, and suggesting possible explanations.
Main Lesson Aim;
Environmental Studies help lay the foundation for the child’s growing understanding and appreciation of the world around. The prime purpose of environmental studies is to develop an awareness and reverence for the splendor, beauty, order and mystery of life, in all its manifestations. The stories told in this main lesson are based on facts, in which the children learn about the natural world around them. The facts in them must be true, but they are dressed in imaginative pictures so that the young child, who still has a pictorial consciousness, can relate to them.

MA1-3WM Supports conclusions by explaining or demonstrating how answers were obtained
Main Lesson Aim:
Through imaginative stories the students will be introduced to addition and subtraction. With the aid of counters / jewels, the students will explore addition and subtraction, recording their findings in their main lesson book.
Addition and subtraction are introduced in story form so that the child has an immediate and joyful connection with what they have to learn. We work from the whole to the parts so that they experience unity, rather than working in disconnected fragments. Each processes has a gesture or quality that can be transformed into a story character with a specific temperament. For instance, the Plus character is phlegmatic and so could be depicted as slow, loves food and maybe even a bit fat and has a potential for hoarding things. He could be named Portly Plus. Minus on the other hand is a melancholic figure, who is always worrying about something. She feels things very deeply and is extremely sensitive, but she is unaware that she has developed a hole in her sack and many of her jewels are lost on the way home. However, she is also very compassionate and generous and willingly gives away her things to help another in need. Out of the story characters and content the class work arises. There will be plenty of opportunities for the children to add and subtract in small groups, whole class activities and individually. Problems explored with concrete materials will be written up in main lesson books, using Arabic numerals and symbols that represent quantity. There will also be time for counting rhythms, songs and rhymes during morning circle activity, revising and extending our counting by 2’s, 3’s, 5’s and 10’s

Main Lesson Aim;
Environmental Studies help lay the foundation for the child’s growing understanding and appreciation of the world around. The prime purpose of environmental studies is to develop an awareness and reverence for the splendour, beauty, order and mystery of life, in all its manifestations. The stories told in this Main Lesson are based on facts, in which the children learn about the natural world around them. In this Main Lesson students explore the role of the farmer, the production of food, and harvest through stories. Students plant a small, fast growing crop (wheatgrass for example), observe it growing and then harvest and eat it, observing each step
155
of the growth-to-food process and drawing and labelling diagrams in their books. Students attend an excursion to a local farm and predict, observe, investigate, question and discuss the processes involved with the production at the farm. Students also prepare for the Autumn/Harvest festival by learning harvest songs and poems.
Objectives:

Main Lesson Aim
In this Main Lesson students will be introduced to a range of Old Testament Stories. These stories will give the students an opportunity to experience a sense of ‘group soul’, unity of purpose, authority, right over wrong and leadership. The experience of the Old Testament peoples is one of moving from a group consciousness towards the threshold of the individual consciousness which came from the time of Christ. The children, in their 9th year, are at a similar threshold. The stability and clear sense of right and wrong of the Old Testament consciousness give them security before they strike out on their own. Students will be introduced to key components of punctuation and work towards completing the punctuation of short pieces of text themselves.
Objectives:

Main Lesson Aim;
Animal Fables reveal the soul or instinctive qualities of the different animals, however, because human beings all have aspects of animal qualities within themselves, these stories, while telling about the outer world of animals, also speaks to the young child, about his or her own hidden nature. Fables have their own unique text style, different to that of prose, poetry or rhyming verse and the traditional fairy tale, that the children experienced in class one. Animal fables are often short narratives that use animal characters that have human features to convey folk wisdom and to help us understand human behaviour. These tales are not adorned with lots of descriptive detail, but are rather succinct and to the point. Each story carries within it a moral truth, which is stated indirectly in a picturesque way. In this Main Lesson the Kindy children will listen to the fables and then respond with painting, drawing, role plays and modelling. Class One and Two children will write re-tells of the fables. They will also write their own little fables.
204

Main Lesson Aim;
The Saint stories provide spiritual nourishment for the young child. They reveal how humanity, has the power to put right human failings, as typified in the Animal Fables, by presenting the noblest of all human qualities; love, compassion and courage. In these legends, the saint gains mastery over his / her lower nature, by striving to elevate his or her unconscious soul qualities to a higher level. The teacher can bring a picture to the children of anyone who they believe has brought beauty, peace, compassion, love and courage to the world, but we must always endeavour to keep our stories relevant to the needs of the young child and foster images of goodness beauty and truth. To dwell excessively on suffering and pain is not appropriate for this age.
Each day, students will listen to stories of the saints and then respond to the previous day’s story with writing, drawing and painting. The children will share work from their main Lesson books, reviewing the work done on previous days. The lesson will also include oral and written recounts of the story with the children being further encouraged to participate in the construction of texts, taking into account; spelling, word families, rhyme and grammatical features such as capital letters, full-stops and commas.

Main Lesson Aim;
In this Main Lesson children will be introduced to some of the Animal Fables. This Main Lesson directly addresses the needs of the child transitioning towards the 9th year, at a period when they are becoming increasingly aware of their own individuality. The blissful time of early childhood has passed and the child awakens to a new consciousness, to a realisation that there is both an inner and an outer world. The children will begin to develop a sense right and wrong, to question their place in the world and who they wish to become.
Animal Fables explore individual differences and characteristics, while highlighting the moral decisions faced by the individual. Many of these stories demonstrate the worst of human qualities. These moral elements should not be explained or analysed, rather taken in and explored by the children. Whilst the Class Two children are learning new skills with sentence construction, grammar and punctuation, the older children practice these skills through their own writing. In this Main Lesson, the students will be writing both retells and their own stories, inspired by the Animal Fables. The focus will be on grammar, punctuation and spelling.
218
Objectives: Class Two - Read out loud, both individually and as part of a group parts of some Animal Fables.
- Read and discuss pieces of their own writing with the class.

Main Lesson Aim
The Saint stories provide spiritual nourishment for the young child. They reveal how humanity, has the power to put right human failings, as typified in the Animal Fables, by presenting the noblest of all human qualities; love, compassion and courage. In these legends, the saint gains mastery over his / her lower nature, by striving to elevate his or her unconscious soul qualities to a higher level. The teacher can bring a picture to the children of anyone who they believe has brought beauty, peace, compassion, love and courage to the world, but we must always endeavour to keep our stories relevant to the needs of the young child and foster images of goodness beauty and truth. To dwell excessively on suffering and pain is not appropriate for this age.
