Preschool has been very busy since we've been back to the centre. We are very excited to welcome Finn, Maddy, Kyra, Roghan, and Dylan to Younger Floor and Joseph to Older Floor.
With Halloween being the big excitement in October, the staff implemented many different activities surrounding this theme. The children made lots of art and room decorations, pinned and threw spiders onto home-made webs throughout the room, and had many Halloween-themed dance parties.
The children got quite messy outdoors, but had an absolute blast while doing it. They splashed in puddles and worked very hard at gathering leaves into a pile to jump in. The children were eager to help clean up the backyard area, and we learned that they are very good at raking. If you still have yard work to do, get your children to help out!
The Younger Floor preschool group changed their Daily Living Area into a car shop where the children enjoy driving/parking their cars, repairing their cars with tools, and filling up their cars with gas. They also went on long walks and explored the different colours, shapes, and sizes of all the leaves falling to the ground.
The Older Floor preschool group created an entire Halloween-themed Daily Living Area. They also did lots of interesting activities in October. They did a science experiment with Skittles and watched the rainbow of colours swirl together like magic. They put green spaghetti noodles in the sensory table, along with a do-it-yourself pumpkin carving activity. They also went on walks and collected colourful leaves to decorate their fall Birthday Board.
