                                                       ‘’Turkey Craft’’

We started our day by introducing the Thanksgiving Tradition and telling the importance of it. We thanked all our friends for helping us and our parents who help us in many things everyday. We also watched a small video to tell why we celebrate this day.
Later we made the Turkey hats where each of the lilly thanked his/her parent.

Sense of sight

Yesterday we did an activity with the children where they got to test the sense of sight. They were given a magnifying glass, a kaleidoscope and an empty toilet paper roll. The Tulips got to try looking through the different objects; what could they see, how did it vary? The children had a lot of fun testing their vision.
