Infant Room - August 2017

The Infant Room had a busy, fun-filled August.  Every Wednesday was water day so lots of splashing and getting wet, which all of the children love!  We had outside day, where we got to stay outside all day, even to nap.  We had enjoyable days playing outside with play houses and going for nature walks.  It was hot but he made it!  The week Petland and Prairie Exotics came to visit was awesome.  We saw lots of different animals and even got to touch them if we wanted.  Ice cream day and popsicle day are probably the most favorite because we got to eat the treats to beat the heat.  We, also, welcomed a new friend Scarlett, to our room.  It is always nice to meet someone new!

School Age-July 2017

Hooray it’s summer! We have had a fantastic start to our summer break!  This has been a very busy month filled with so many different activities and games.

The School Agers and Preschoolers watched a movie together on our movie day. We also started our water days; we all get so soaked and muddy!

Our first field trip we went on was to Kildonan Park; even though it was raining we all had a blast. We did some exploring, playing on the structures, doing lots of games, and visited the ducks.

We brought in our bikes and helmets and had 2 bike days! MPI even came to the Centre and set up an obstacle course for us to use with our bikes; we also learned proper bike safety and the rules of the road.

We had summer games week in the School Age Room, so we created our own GIANT Candy Land board game. We had set it up so each square was a different exercise move; we all worked up a sweat. We also hosted a gym riot for the School Agers and Preschoolers, everyone got involved and had a blast.

The School Agers baked lots of different goodies and had a bake sale right outside the Centre. They did everything on their own! We raised 200 dollars for the Winnipeg Pet Rescue Shelter! GO TEAM!

We had  Mad Science come to the Centre to show us science experiments. We watched what happens when hot and cold water is mixed with dry ice. We also got a special treat at the end.  It was great!

Preschool-July 2017

The Preschool Program had a blast in July.  We went on a school bus to Kildonan Park where we played lots of games and explored the beautiful forests and gardens surrounding the park.  It rained that day, but that didn't stop us from having the BEST time.

We had water day at the Centre and the children had a blast running through the sprinklers.  We also got very muddy and we had to use the hose to clean us off before coming inside.  It was so much fun.

We have been focusing on learning our colours in July. We had a colour scavenger hunt around town and we saw all the colours that make our community beautiful.  We each had a bag and collected treasures along the way.

We made some pretty wonderful memories together in July and we cannot wait to see the fun August brings.

Infant Room- July 2017

This month we said good-bye to our friends, Eleanor and Lily, who moved up to the Preschool Program.  We would like to welcome three new friends to the program, Keaton, Bo, and Scarlett.  We are excited to have you in our room!

Thank you to Carissa and Kevin, Kristel and Kevin, and Lesley and Justin for the wonderful toy donations we have received for the Infant Program.  You kindness and generosity are greatly appreciated!

July was a fun month, with lots of exciting activities for our infants.  They enjoyed picnics, one at Ashland Park and another at the Rec Centre.  The children have been having a blast on our water days and they really enjoy when we set up the tent and pretend we are camping.  We also LOVED the bouncy castle that visited us in July. 

We can't wait for the excitement coming in August.  It should be a great month!
