Preschool news

This week in preschool we have had an exciting and busy week full of learning, fun, and creativity! Here's a look at what we've been up to:

To support literacy, language and communication we read "From Head to Toe" by Eric Carle, and the children loved joining in as we moved our bodies just like the animals in the story.

We also learned the classic rhyme "Heads, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes." The children did a great job remembering all the moves and singing along!

In addition, we worked on our listening skills with the Tambourine Game and had so much fun with Dance and Freeze, where the children danced to music and froze in place when it stopped.

In Maths, we've been counting the children along our number line each morning, helping us practice counting skills and recognize numbers.
Practicing giving 1, 2, and 3 objects to our friends and teachers during group activities and exploring the concept of "more" by comparing different sets of objects in the classroom.

We have been creative this week, painting with brushes, sponges and shape stampers. The children have also all made a 'Self Portrait' for our art gallery. 

This week, our little explorers have enjoyed sensory play with shaving foam in the tough trays, using toothbrushes to clean jungle animals. The children loved getting messy while learning about the animals and practicing fine motor skills.

As always the outdoor area has been a hit this week!
The Mud Kitchen has been a favorite as children mixed and "cooked" using mud, water, and natural ingredients.
We also had fun brushing bubbles on the path, which sparked plenty of laughter as the children created bubbly trails.
In the Construction Area, children worked together to build impressive structures, fostering teamwork and problem-solving skills.

Next week, we have more exciting activities planned, including meeting Boris the robot in our Heartsmart session and listening to our story of the week 'Walking in the Jungle'

That wraps up another fun-filled week at preschool! We can't wait to see what new adventures we'll have next week. Be sure to ask your little one about their favorite activity this week!
