School Age Room- August 2017

Our play space was under renovation this month and we are all very excited for it to be done. Since we were unable to use our backyard, we made many trips to the Rec Centre, Ashland Park, the high school soccer field.  We also went on many walks through our beautiful town.

During Circus Week we had our faces painted like animals! We all tie dyed something white that we brought from home, and the outcome very colorful. The school agers created their own circus in the gym, involving a ring toss, a maze, acrobats on the mats and many other activities. We also all enjoyed some popcorn! Mr. Ken came and visited our Centre during Circus Week; he showed us many neat tricks that left us wondering how magicians do it!

We also traveled around the world to Norway, Africa, Egypt, and Ireland! We made Egyptian necklaces, African masks, and we talk about the different cultures in for each of the places. Kurrent Motion came and we had a blast with hula hoops! She taught us some tricks and did a show for us! She was so cool!

During Animal Planet week we started constructing our own bird houses. Between visits from Petland and Prairie Exotic, we were hard at work nailing, sanding and painting our houses.

Our last week of summer was Spirit Week and it was so much fun! We dressed up as princesses and super heroes and were busy playing all day! We sat down for an iced tea party with popcorn at the end of the day! On decade’s day, we dressed from the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s and had root beer floats. We ended the day with a dance party! Toga day was on Wednesday; we dressed up in our togas and made leaf crowns! Thursday was Halloween Day; we went trick or treating in our daycare centre and had Bricks 4 Kidz join us.  Everyone was so involved and really enjoyed all of the Lego that was brought to us. To end our week, Spiderman stopped by the school Age room for a visit. We were all so excited and shocked that we were left speechless.  We finished off the week with a Pizza Party. 

The children are very excited to be back at school, and we are thrilled to see them learn and develop during the school year.
