Sunflowers

Monday, Egg Hunt, Arts & Crafts and Sherborne Movements:

During week 14, The Sunflowers started their day with an egg hunt in our front yard. They searched for the eggs all over the garden. After this the children had circle time where we talked about the easter holiday and how it can be celebrated; we celebrate the coming of spring and new life (birds chirping, new baby animals, flowers and blossoms). This was followed by several activities where the Sunflowers were broken up into groups and participated in the following: decorating their bunny masks, and eggs as well as Sherborne Movements with the Lilies, according to the Sherborne Association in the UK here are some of the benefits of these movements:
