Dear Langley Families,
After noticing that many children
were playing with the tambourines in class we placed some instruments in
our classroom so the children can continue to create music as they wish. As a
class, we have started to talk about what these instruments are made of, how we
play them we are working together to agree on how we should treat
them.
We then noticed some children
jumping and dancing to the beats so we played some background music and added
some streamers for the dancers of the group. This has been a hit in the
afternoon outside in the sunshine. If
you have a hidden musical talent and would love to share this skill for our
class, please come and visit and play for the children. It would be fantastic!
To assist our little ones with
fine their motor skills, we have started a threading craft activity. Many children are participating in this craft
and their threading piece is hanging in our wet area. Just look UP!
Learning to thread is a great
skill. Not only is it fun and a
challenge but it is directly linked to pre-literacy. For example improving
pencil grip and precision in handwriting.
We have placed some puzzles on the shelves to further assist with this fine
motor development. Please fill free at
drop off to sit and do a puzzle or threading together.
We have taken the lead from many of
our budding artists and had the water paints and painting easel set up this
term. It has become quite a social act
to paint alongside each other singing, chatting or laughing together. It has
been fantastic to see our little Picasso’s flourish in creativity using all
sorts of mediums in these play spaces.
Extra notes
Edwina (Winnie) Christo has lost
her Minnie Mouse sleep/cuddle toy. If
you see it please return it to an Educator in the Centre. Thank you
Enjoy your weekend!
