Sunflowers

Sunflowers : Terrariums

Children collected their jars. They added stones, sand and soil to them, in layers. Then they added alfalfa seeds to the soil and watered them. The Sunflowers now have their very own terrariums. The seeds are already starting to sprout!

We have been working on the following Lpfö goals:

“ develop their understanding of science and relationships to nature, as well as knowledge of plants, animals and also simple chemical processes and physical phenomena”

“develop their ability to build, create and construct using different techniques, materials and tools”

The Lilies

This morning the Lilies really did not want to come in...it was warm and they were way to busy. So we stayed out, taking all of our activities with us! We made a home for a snail and it's baby. We did a counting and Maths activity as well as an art activity making "friend" puppets.  We played house and looked after our baby. We when sat the table and had our lunch outside, before they ran off to continue their fun, games and learning. They have really enjoyed taking the preschool outside! Maths, language, gross motor skills, fine motor skills, science, we've done it all. 

Lpfö: acquire and be able to differentiate shades of meaning in concepts, see interconnections and discover new ways of understanding the surrounding world 

Daisies Dinosaurs

Today we read a book about dinosaurs. We looked at the colorful pictures in the book and learned more about different types of dinosaurs. For instance that some dinosaurs ate meat and others ate leaves from the trees. Afterwards the Daisies used crayons to color pictures of a dinosaur.

Sunflowers: Vanilla Cake Baking,Art Show and Market Day

Today was a big day for all children in Futuraskolan Danderyd as it was our Art Show and Market Day! In the morning,all the groups were very busy in the dining room, baking and making delicious cookies and cakes for our fika sale. The Sunflowers were really excited to mix all the ingredients and help us make a very “yummy” vanilla cake. The Art Exhibition and the sale of second-hand kids toys and clothes started in the afternoon. Parents really enjoyed seeing all those wonderful works of art, but especially our little masterpieces- Self-Portraits, Clay Butterflies and Glass Jar Candle Holders. They also had a lot of fun trying out our delicious cookies and cakes and chatting with the teachers and other parents in the dining room. The Art Show and Market Day were very successful and we are all happy and glad to say that we raised a lot of money for our Summer Party in June. Thank you all for visiting our Art Show and Market Day!

Sunflowers: Recognising Shapes and Shape Sequences

During circle time, the children were invited to identify different shapes. They were very happy

to do so and are very good at shape recognition. For their first maths activity, the Sunflowers

were asked to look at a picture made up of various shapes. Of these, there were invited to

identify the number of triangles, rectangles, diamonds and squares. Additionally, they completed

several shape sequences such as: circle, triangle and square.

We have been working on the following Lpfö goals:

“develop their understanding of space, shapes...and the basic properties of sets, quantity, order and number concepts”
