Tulips

Today the tulips baked heart shaped salt dough. They had fun baking and measuring the amounts required for example how many cups of flour which inco-operated science as well. They also got to mix the mixture in the bowl and once they rolled the dough, they were able to make heart shaped cut outs ready for Valentine’s Day next week!

Lpfo: develop their understanding of space, shapes, location and direction and the basic properties of sets, quantity, order and number concepts, also for measurements, time and change.

Lilies

The Lilies are working on recognizing patterns. We started working on making our own pattern. We cut a lot of small pieces of paper of different colors and each kid chose two colors. They had a grid and they tried to glue them in a sequence. They all really enjoyed this activity and showing their friends the pattern they had created.

Lpfö: develop their mathematical skill in putting forward and following reasoning.

Tulips

Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances our outing this week had to be cancelled however we had an active but fun outing with the Tulips indoors. We danced and sang to one of our favorite songs ‘walking in the jungle’, we got to slide indoors, we got to dress up as princesses and dinosaurs, we even got time to do jolly phonics, we laughed, we cried and then we laughed again!

 

Lpfo: develop their motor skills. Ability to coordinate, awareness of their own body as well as the importance of maintaining their own health and well-being.

Sunflowers

Where do I come from? Finger paint

Sunflowers decided to create a common map of where do they all come from - we all put our fingerprint in the place of a country that we were born in. It was a lot of fun to see how far away from each other we were at some point, yet we're all in one room now. Sunflowers discussed which countries were their neighbours, talked about flags and their colours. They all liked picking the color to represent them and decided to paint their flags with fingers as well next. Well done, Sunflowers!

LPFÖ:

• feel a sense of participation in their own culture and develop a feeling and respect for other cultures

• develop their identity and feel secure in themselves

Sunflowers

The sunflowers started to think about time and clocks. We looked at a clock together and talked about the hands. They then made their first clock out of a paper plate. It involved lots of cutting, gluing and numbers. We will go back to this as it is part of our IPC theme, Time and Space, Earth and Place. 

LPFÖ: develop fine motor skills 

Tulips

Aaaaand we’re back!

This week we’ve had plenty of fun so far in both welcoming three new Tulips and rehearsing all that we learned last year. This all includes things such as Jolly Phonics, Montessori maths, baking which helps us learn more about both chemistry and quantity, how to enjoy ourselves in a group and indivually as well the important theme of how to enjoy ourselves while learning - and of course so much more! In the theme of our IPC, Our World, we’re focusing on our surroundings but also a lot on learning more about and working on developing ourselves, our autonomy, awareness, and independence. 

Right now we’re in the middle of an ICT-week. Thanks to a wonderful opportunity we’re now introducing gadgets such as Sphero and Blue-bot to The Tulips. This week we’re taking the first step in learning more about the bots and further develop our already existing work with technology. Apart from the bots we’re continuously working with the ipads in multiple categories, such as Jolly Phonics app or learning more about shapes (filters) and space (get in front of the camera). We’re also learning more about the connection between technology and communication, for example through Skype (direct communication) or fun activities where we learn how information is transfered. 

Next week we will continue the weekly work with mathematics, language, ICT, science, IPC, healthy living, and motor skills, with a larger focus on sensory.

Lpfö: develop their ability to identify technology in everyday life, and explore how simple technology works
