August already! Wow I cannot
believe our summer is half over! This
month has been super busy. We got to
know our new teacher Andrea better and welcomed De to our group! They are wonderful additions and have really
fit in so perfectly with our groups. We
also said “see you soon” to Haley, it was an emotional day for everyone. We will miss Haley immensely she has been
with the centre for almost 1 ½ years. As
I’m sure most of you know Haley loved working with the kids, they were always
her first priority. The kids said they
will miss Haley’s jokes, snuggles and smile.
Good luck Haley with your future endeavours, we know you’ll do
amazing. We’ve had lots of fun events,
PJ day, Canada Day activities, water days, field trips and so much more.
For our
field trip we went to Assiniboine Park.
We split in to two groups the Rainbow Tigers and the Cheetahs. The Cheetahs started at the Nature Playground
and had such a fun time. They played on
the slide, climbed the spider web and played in the sand area. The Rainbow Tigers started at the duck pond
and the Leo Mole Sculpture Garden. It
was amazing to see the deep thoughts the children had about the flowers and
sculptures they saw. We found a witches
house, or so we thought, the Assiniboine Park keeper came and told us that it’s
actually much less interesting. The hut
is where they store their garden and park tools. We actually lost track of time in the gardens
because we were enjoying ourselves so much.
After that we had to run back to the meeting area and meet up with the
Cheetahs and other groups for lunch. I
could go on and on about all we did at the park, if you want to hear more about
our field trip, check out our document logs on the wall outside the office.
Mr. Ken
the Magician came and wow was he ever funny!
We all got to be involved, Diana even got to join him at the front and
help with a magic trick! She even got to
keep part of the trick after. Our
coordinator was visiting that day and Mr. Ken brought her up to participate
too, the teachers all had a good laugh about that!
Thank
you so much for all who participated in crazy hair day and it was crazy! Our outdoor challenge day was a huge
success! For those of you who saw Andrea
and Brittany at the end of the day I can bet you could all see just how much
fun the children had getting to “face paint” the two of them. We have had many water days. Last week we had
a teacher verses kid crochet water balloon fight, the teachers like to believe
they won but the kids definitely did.
One of our families brought their pup, Nala for a visit. Nala was amazing with the kids; our kids had
many great questions about Nala. Thank
you so much to Nala and her family for bringing her in. Our garden outside has been growing so much
we have tried a few of the vegetables that we have grown.
We
visited the MacDonald Fire Hall this week.
It was SO COOL!!!!! Mr. Siemens talked
to us about all the gear the firefighters have to wear. Thank you to Kaitlyn for volunteering to wear
all the fire gear. It looked very hot
and heavy. We got to crawl around the
lunch room of the fire hall in the dark to practice what the firefighters
do. While we were there they got a real
call they had to run off too. Luckily it
wasn’t far away and everything was all good!
When they came back and we got to watch Macaulay use the jaws of life to
cut a 2 x 2 piece of wood. Kerri even
got to give it a try! We got to spray
the fire hose at a Santa statue and knock him over.
Such a
busy fun filled month, we were so lucky to have such amazing weather. Stay tuned for what is in store for
August.
