Task 9: Integrated subject areas

(e.g.

Math/Science/IT/Language)
Focus: Integration
Ask your MST which e.g. maths and/or science concepts the children
are learning at the moment. Find out how she helps them to
understand these ideas. Ask about how language is part of this
learning.
If you can, get a sample of any documentation of the science or maths
curriculum you can add this to your TP portfolio. It will give you an
idea of the kind of concepts children at this level can understand and
also the kind of activities they are engaged in.
For example:
Concept

The numbers

The senses

Sand and water

Activity

Counting the
numbers by
using different
shapes like the
puzzles
They learn the
(5) senses

They mix the

sand and the
water to make
mud

Language

Puzzles

-Tasting
-Smelling
-Watching and
discovering
-Mixing
-Water
-Sand

Reflection
In your journal describe and comment on:
A maths or science concept the learners are studying e.g.
numbers, addition, measurement

Activities the teacher uses to introduce and reinforce these ideas

Examples of language the learners need to understand the

concepts

Gather samples of documentation of the maths or science

curriculum or the topic the learners are currently studying.
