This week we had a nice gym class. We danced to some music, had a simple trail to practice hand-foot-eye coordination and throwing and moved our scarves to the rhythm of some songs.
Outdoors the children enjoyed playing with the thin layer of snow and built a tiny snowmen.
The week ended with a fun water play using cups and sponges. They also got to try and observe what happens when we add turmeric in a jug with salted water under a source of light.

This week the Finches have been exploring the indoors and outdoors at the daycare and having fun together.
We have also been practicing our fine motor skills by making new decorations for our classroom. Christmas is on its way!

Penguins and Parrots have been enjoying the changing weather of this week! On a very rainy day they made a road for the water to flow from one puddle to another puddle. They made a long river, that went across half of the yard!
This week we also had an experiment to show how important it is to wash your hands with soap. With a mixture of water, flour and cinnamon, they saw how dirt can stay in their hands and stain other things. And the only way to clean it is with soap!
