25.01.2022 Our babies had a great time last week during their music lesson listening to songs played on the guitar Ms Annie brought in her guitar for Ms Yuki to play to our young babies The babies were very engaged as Ms Yuki played some lovely music with a strong beat! Music fosters emotional and social connections and helps develop the childrens listening and language skills by teaching them about rhythm and beat

25.01.2022 Ready, set, blast off! Our Blossom 2 class (3.5 - 5yrs) enjoyed doing a science experiment outside. We blew up different sized balloons to see which one would reach the finish line first Lots of huffing and puffing was involved! This simple and fun experiment teaches children about the concept of action and reaction. Using everyday household items, the Blossoms learnt how the force of air moving in one direction can propel a balloon in the opposite direction, just like a rocket!

22.01.2022 This week in our Poppies room (4-5yrs) the children continuously demonstrated their learning through a variety of play. They demonstrated this by playing with straw connectors. Straw connectors are great resources that help to develop and demonstrate the childrens skills and abilities through working memory, auditory and visual skills They were encouraged to create shapes that they are familiar with as we applied intentional teaching in this instance. Their problem-solving, concentration, resilience, memory, visual and auditory skills began to improve when placed in practical situations! Well done Poppies!

21.01.2022 This morning our children in Buds (2-3) room focused on developing their visual perception and recognition of shapes Using their hand eye coordination and fine motor skills, the children practised identifying basic shapes and matching them into pairs using Quirke blocks Throughout this experience, the children applied thinking strategies to solve the problems they were faced with!!

16.01.2022 Last week our little Sprouts (15m - 2yrs) learnt about the different types of emotions that humans feel Through this activity the Sprouts learnt how to use gentle hands with their friends while they expressed a wide range of emotions, thoughts and views.

10.01.2022 Our Buds (2-3 yrs) engaged in pasta threading activity to make necklaces! The educator demonstrated how to thread macaroni onto the string and tie the ends, to make sure the pasta pieces do not fall off. Some children asked for help when threading the pasta, while others did it independently, only receiving help to tie the knot The children learnt mathematical concepts as they counted the number of pieces they threaded! This activity also stimulated language development through interaction with the educator. Threading helped the Buds develop their fine motor skills which are very important and will assist them in performing daily activities such as doing buttons, opening and closing bags and many more Buds parents - we hope you enjoyed the surprise presents!!
