Week 5

Another busy week for the Pearsons. We are selling our house and everything is in boxes. Zico had an extra day with Nana and Grandad this week so he could get more attention whilst all the packing and cleaning was done. He saw some irish dancing with them on Friday for St. Patricks day and also did a huge walk along the waterfront.
Maths: Zico enjoys counting and in the car together we counted all the way to 100. Zico told his Daddy later that after one hundred it is easy as you just start again but add 100 and he gave him the example of 101, 102. Great memory Zico. Zico is getting faster at recognising dice and finger patterns too and is learning his tricky teen numbers. Zico's first tooth fell out this week and the tooth fairy left him $2 which he chose to spend on an icecream. Here is Zico pointing at numbers on my home made number line whilst he ate his icecream.

 Physical Education. Zico has been doing so well with his confidence at swimming that he can now float on his front and back without Lisa's hands touching him....look carefully at the pictures. We are so proud of you Zico.

 Zico has been enjoying talking about Dinosaurs in Jurassic Park. Today he discovered the stamps and made a story of dinosaur footprints with his stamps.

 Literacy: Look at all these books that Zico has read in the last 5 weeks, there is a whole range here from level 1-6, so some are easy and some a little tricky. Zico particularly enjoys the Mo and Toots books as they have great pictures.

 Zico has started to trace over alphabet letters each day for the last two weeks. He finds it tricky to stay on the lines but he never gives up. Today's sentence was "I can see a box." so we practised writing the letter x. (There are lots of moving boxes for Zico to see in our lounge)

 Zico's other sentences this week were: I can see a tree. I can see the T.V.  I can see a drink. I can see a tooth.

Creative play: Every week Zico plays a game called Stomp with his dinosaurs. He always invents good storylines for the characters. This week there was a bit of a fight, but then the baddy turned good and one dinosaur had lost it's mummy.
