Our learning activities continued.

Stompysaurus-week 2 

Throughout this week, the children have found great enjoyment in listening to a soothing story about ladybirds. They have also taken part in an activity where they assisted the toy dinosaurs in escaping from blocks of ice. This activity has prompted discussions among the children about the process of how water turns into ice when it freezes, and has inspired them to share their ideas on different methods we could use to melt the ice. Furthermore, we have ventured into the world of music by exploring various musical instruments. The children have had fun moving and dancing like dinosaurs to the sounds produced by these instruments. In addition to this, the children have been engaged in measuring the toy dinosaurs using building blocks. They have been counting the number of blocks required to match the height and length of the dinosaurs, and have been using their fingers to demonstrate the number of blocks they used or needed for this task. 

Jacob has carefully placed one block on top of another until he has a total of 5 blocks stacked up. This tower of blocks matches the height of the dinosaur that he selected for his measuring activity.

Stompysaurus-​ week 1. 

The children have had such a delightful and enjoyable first week as they make their way back into the routine of preschool life. Throughout these past few days, they have had so much fun by engaging in activities like blowing bubbles and feathers. These activities have served as a wonderful way for them to unwind and relax, all while practising their breathing exercises. For instance, in this particular activity, Theo is showing everyone how to take deep breaths in and exhale slowly, which allows his feather to float gently up into the air.

Since our current focus story is centred on exploring emotions, particularly those of anger and calmness, we revisited the themes of the "Colour Monster," specifically looking at the emotions represented by the colours red and green. We also got creative by making art using dinosaurs and paint, and we thoroughly enjoyed getting active by moving and singing along to our song of the week, "If You're Happy and You Know It."
