Outing

Yesterday we went on a wonderful outing to the nearby small field. The older children got to practice their gross motor skills by walking all the way there and back again. After a yummy and healthy snack the children went exploring. They were very happy to find some ice which almost looked like pieces of glass.

Lpfö 98: "develop their motor skills. Ability to co-ordinate, awareness of their own body, as well as an understanding of the importance of maintaining their own health and well-being"

                                                       ‘’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.

We also connected it to our stories done so far like Pigs were scared of the Big Bad wolf and dwarfs were sad when Snow White went in deep sleep,  Hansel and Gretel were happy to see the Ginger Bread house in the forest, 3 bears were surprised to see the broken chair and empty bowl of porridge etc

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.
