The Lilies

This week is garden week and the lilies have helped a lot. This morning we had special helpers too. 

Lpfö: Develop creative abilities 

Dinosaur food

Today we continued our work from Friday about herbivores and carnivores. This time we focused on herbivores or plant-eaters. The Daisies got to color pictures of grass and leaves that we will use to make a herbivore collage. Maybe you think that leaves and grass are green? Well, in Daisies-land it can be any color you want!

Sunflowers

Sunflowers:Butterflies Back To Nature

Today was a big day for Sunflowers as we set our beautifully painted butterflies free! Our lady butterflies formed their wings and came out of their cocoons last week and we were feeding them with sugar and water until today! After our free play outside in the yard, all the groups excitedly gathered in a circle and waited for this special moment! The weather conditions were almost perfect and we were ready to open our Live Butterfly Garden! ​Four beautiful lady butterflies came out and embraced their freedom! It was their return to nature where they belong! 

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 interest and understanding of the different cycles in nature and how people, nature and society influence each other” 

The Lilies

This morning the children made their very own colorful pirate hats! They used recycled materials, ribbons, glitter, glue, crayons. A great fun way to develop fine motor skills.

   Polar Animal Memory Game

   Teacher placed some pair cards of polar animals on the table and children flipped two cards in each turn and then turned them back upside down.This way they had to remember the place of each animal so that they can try to pick the pair of same animal among all the cards.

   Lpfö goals:

• Develop their vocabulary and concepts, the ability to play with words, an interest in the written language and an understanding of symbols as well as their communicative functions,

                    Develop their curiosity and enjoyment, as well as their ability to play and learn.

Tulips

Tulips did a hand-on experience to see How the Polar animals keep themselves Warm. To begin with they dipped their hand in the icy cold water and counted to 5 and almost shouted that it was Cold. Then they put their hands in the bag of shortening and touched the cold water and felt that didn't feel so cold. This helped them to understand that the fat in the animals body helps them to keep warm.

Our activity met the following goals, as specified by Lpfö 98- 2010

Develop their use of spoken language, vocabulary and concepts, as well as the ability to play with word, relate something, express their arguments and communicate with others.

Develop their understanding of science and relationships to nature, as well as knowledge of plants, animals, and also simple chemical processes made physical phenomena.

Daisies Dino-bingo

Last week we played a game with the Daisies called Dino-bingo. We used a wheel that showed pictures of different kind of dinosaurs. The Daisies then took turn in spinning the wheel and see which dinosaur it showed. Then the children had to try to find the same picture on their bingo card. It was a little bit tricky but the Daisies did an amazing job!
