Newsletter Friday 20th of March 2015

This week has been so much fun for everyone!  On Tuesday, we had our lovely visitors from ARC once again and this time, they brought a real dog and two cats for the children to meet.  They were all so excited and they also impressed our visitors with their sensible behaviour in the Multi-Purpose Room.  Our visitors from ARC shared to us how to take care of our pets and how important it is to give our pets healthy food, water, exercise, and tender loving care.  Some children were also given a chance to touch the dog and the cats and also to listen to their heartbeat using the stethoscope.

On Wednesday, we made flapjacks for our cooking activity.  With support, the children measured the ingredients using a measuring jug and they also poured the ingredients into the bowl.  The most fun part for them was mixing the ingredients as they truly enjoyed the delicious smell of the mixture they had made.  During this activity, most of them used the words 'yummy', 'soft', and 'sticky'.

Our Art & Design table was also busy this week.  The children created 4 lovely paintings to be displayed in the Fundino Playground.  They painted circles and squares on the painting canvas using paintbrush and paper plates.

The children also enjoyed other new activities this week.  We had Numicon and different games on the Maths table.  The children have been practising counting and number recognition with the Numicon and by playing games like 'Lucky Ducky' and Number Lotto.

The messy tray was also filled with slime and 'moon sand' which the children enjoyed.

The children also had a go at playing with the skittles in the main playground.  Using body control and coordination, they tried their best to roll the ball towards the skittles.  

We are extremely pleased that all of our children explore our play spaces with great confidence!  It has been a week of fun and learning!
