We welcomed some new little faces this week. We are very happy that you have joined our group and look forward to all our adventures together during this new school year.
As we welcomed new children this week, we continued getting to know one another, practicing patience, kindness and understanding. We learned about what it means to work as a team; cooperate, compromise, listen, communicate, problem solve.
We have put lots of work into the workings of our routine and helping everyone to follow our schedule; knowing what comes next and what to expect. They have done a wonderful job following the children who already know the routine.
We focused a lot on our own names this week; identifying the letters, spelling them out, counting and comparing the amount of letters in them, clapping out the syllables, and for some of the kids they showed how they could write their names. We did a bit of general alphabet identification practice and review before we start our individual letter learning next week. The kids did some letter matching, letter identification and ABC song singing and dancing.
Our arts/science and sensory activities comprised of shaving cream/food colouring mixing to make a marbled painted paper, sowing grass seeds in little cups (hoping the weather will be on our side!), using feet to play in homemade paints on a large paper outside, and making/playing with play dough.
We can't wait to see what next week holds!
