Thank you to all the parents and grandparents who were able to join our party. The children really enjoyed having their families there.

Remembrance Day

Today our children learned a little something about Remembrance Day.  We wanted to extend their curiosity of this important day and introduced literacy as a poem. Take a watch...

Visit from the Firefighters!

Our young fire fighters are learning all about the tools and gear that are kept on the fire trucks.

Seeing where the ladder and hoses are kept

"Can we go inside?"

"My feet don't touch"

Future team of firefighters

"It's high up!"

"Cheese!"

"Don't go back in the fire for your toys, ask them"

"You have to go down the stairs on your bottom"

"It's big, I can get down myself"

We practised yelling " help, I'm in here" so the fire fighters can hear us.

A few hugs and high fives with Sparky the fire dog!

Fall Leaves

The leaves are falling down
The leaves are falling down
Red, Yellow, Orange and Brown 
The leaves are falling down

The children discovered texture doing leaf rubbings

They used many colours, just like the leaves outside

They observed that some leaves had more than one colour

And using long paper, they discovered they could wear their creations! Introducing Queen of the Leaves!

Apple Prints

Many of our children are discussing their family outings to the Apple Orchard. We brought those experiences into our classroom. We made a graph to see what colour of apples was our favorite. We cut apples to see the shape within and painted with them. Many friends chose to make patterns. We then brought our apple seeds to our science area, to the Wonder Table to look at the seeds a little more closely.
