Going Buggy!

Spring has finally arrived and we are learning about insects!  For Show and Share, Carys brought her bug catcher to teach us about June Bugs and grubs.  We emptied the dirt out onto some paper and the kids searched through the dirt to find the grubs and the big June Bug.  There was a lot of great discussion and observations!  Later, down in Legion Park, we also discovered lots of ants and ladybugs.  You never know what we might find next.....

Learning with Links

In  Kindergarten, we are learning to measure.  We have learned a lot about measuring height, length and width in non-standard units.  For practice the kids measured items in our room with links.  They made a lot of new discoveries and had lots of fun too!

Eggcellent Easter Crafts!

Just before Easter the kids in KA had a great afternoon making Easter crafts! They dyed eggs, painted egg cut outs and sponge painted paper eggs with pom poms. Thanks to our parent volunteers. We couldn't have done it without you!

Crazy for Colours

In March we explored a lot with colour.  The best part was experimenting with mixing primary colours!  We invited some parent volunteers in to help us and the kids had the chance to colour mix at four stations.  They mixed fingerpaint, dyes on diffusing paper, paint in bags and watercolour paints on watercolour paper.  The kids loved  all of the activities and learned lots in a very memorable way!  Enjoy the pictures.... :)

Shapes, Shapes, Shapes

As we were learning about shapes, the kids had the chance to visit shape centers.   We had five centers which included puzzles,games, pattern blocks and magnetic shapes, I pads, creating pictures with shapes, stamping shapes and patterns as well as a shape "Bakery" where the children created shape cookies.  The kids always learn so much at hands on learning stations and have fun doing it!
