Over and Under the Snow

Recently, we’ve read a story called “Over and Under”. It introduces the concept that there are a variety of animals who make their home under the snow.

Then we went on excursions around the school yard looking for evidence of “these kingdoms under the snow”. We tried to investigate each little hole and imagine the creatures that might call the crevices “home”.

Transportation

The Blue group has been enjoying their transportation theme. 

Building some boats...do they float?

Drawing some race cars.

Designing our own license plates (I wonder if they’d show up at night?)

Winter Fun

I thought I’d include some photos from our outdoor fun recently. 

Practicing some tally marks from sticks we’ve collected.

The Gruffalo

We read the story called The Gruffalo recently. Based on the number of students who could recite many of the words, we could tell it was a favourite in many homes too. 

We used puppets from the story to retell it!

We always love to see the students use the props to tell the story again.

Transportation

The blue group has been enjoying our new dramatic arts centre where they pretend that they are fixing a car.

We’ve been trying to do some writing.

We’ve been playing with various cars and trucks and different experiences in our water and sand tables.

We’ve been doing some artwork that is transportation related.

We started on our gas pump!
