It’s been a week of space travel and exploring! For someone who appreciates the beauty of space but is not really that “into” space I even get inspired when the kids ask questions and get completely caught up in the excitement of space travel and the mysteries of the galaxy!
We have had fun with magic space dough, process art and activities…
And some art to take home to remind us of our songs and outer space adventures!
We’ve had great fun this week talking about pets and how much they mean to us… Chat and discussion about how to look after pets, what we love about pets and what we think having a pet is all about… The children have especially loved dramatic play this week – school has been bustling with the sounds and scampering of every pet under the sun!
A discussion table, felt fish pets and lots of small world and sensory play…
Colour sorting, shape matching and emergent reading…
Of course plenty of open art…
Pet craft activities…
And a class full of gorgeous puppies…
Practicing motor skills with other children and having interested adults participate are great learning opportunities for children. Patient husband made a set of simple obstacle materials for the children to use for their movement. They were easy to make and provide the children with a great opportunity to explore and discuss all the different things they can do with them. Even though the children figured out the original movements intended for them they even invented a few of their own creative uses and had a great time experimenting and eventually making their own obstacle courses.
Items we used: piece of wood cut into various sizes; drill and screws; sander.
Once the various pieces of wood were cut to size we just drilled all the bits together and sanded. We made 2 x balance beams and 2 x hoop holders. They are sturdy and provide a great platform for the children to create their own creative obstacle courses!
