We started off our new year with so much bum, and sometimes tummy, sledding! If you ever had a New Years’ Resolution to be more active, this is definitely the thing to try! The kids have been so happy that the snow has decided to stay around, that we went out bum sledding, and hill climbing, every day this week.
The kids practiced their scissor and tracing skills. Their scissor practice papers then turned into individual puzzles they had to glue together. They worked on drawing their favourite parts of their Christmas 2020 in their journals, practiced backwards counting and made New Years Pom Pom poppers that Bella also really enjoyed, so much so that she would fetch the pom poms for the kids. So funny!
We celebrated a very happy 5th birthday this week! Balloons, cupcakes, a movie and good friends make for a great birthday celebration!
Some other activities we did this week include:
-Lots of crafting!
-Drawing fireworks with glue before and adding glitter to them
-Working as a team to sequence numbered cups before using them for our science fun (pouring baking soda and vinegar together)
-Making Birthday bracelets with pipe cleaners and pony beads
-Painting handprint new year 2021 art
-Clapping out syllables in names and words
