Class 1/2- Outdoor Play

This week our friends took play time outdoors as we enjoyed the beautiful spring weather! We all had a blast playing together and bonding under the sun! Furthermore, we used our gross motor skills as we engaged in physical activity. Some of the things we did was run and catch bubbles, ride bicycles, draw with chalk, cook in the house and play with magic sand! We all had the most wonderful time together and can't wait to do it soon again!

Class 1- Musical Circle

Class 1 friends had a great music circle today, not only is music fun for them but,it also helps with their auditory learning. Our friends choose their favourite kind of bell, that was in the magic musical box. We sang the “ABC” song, and the ants go marching altogether. Also, our friends asked to switch the bell nicely with each others, by sharing they were able to practice different types of musical instruments with their friends. Great job friends.

Class 5- Addition Game

Class 5 had a great numeracy time today. We played a fun game of addition. We used some flash cards with sums on it and small learning blocks to do the activity. Each child had to pick a card and see the numbers on it. They had to add and count the blocks accordingly to find out the answer. They could check the answers by turning the flash cards . Everyone tried well. Good job!

Class 2- Earth Day Hands

Today Class 2 used their hands to symbolize the term, "The Earth is Ours!" As we all know, Earth Day has just passed, and to say a big thank you to our Planet; we brought it to life in our own hands! To start this art experience, we first painted our hands blue and green "the colours of the Earth" and then pressed them down on brown construction paper. We then used fine tipped brushes to create our own backgrounds. Some of us used each colour to create patterned dots, and squiggly lines. Overall, we really enjoyed this art experience as we got to share our love with the world! We wish you all a happy Earth Day!

Class 5- Bird Art

Class 5 was listening to the spring sounds today. We were happy to listen to the chirping and tweeting and we were discussing if they were baby birds or Mumma birds. We then decided to make some bird stick puppets. We painted the birds with paints putting a small standing line pattern on it which looked like feathers. We then added paper fans as tails , eyes and sticks to it, followed by added some leaves on​ the sticks. It looked so pretty. Great job friends!
