Tea party preparations 🧁
Most of the children helped to make vanilla cupcakes with Margaret in preparation for our student Teri’s last day in the chestnut room.
There was even a clean up crew on hand happy to help wipe down surfaces, wash and dry the dishes used.
Spontaneous Science
Some of the children noticed that a piece of our very popular Aloe Vera plant had broken. Instead of throwing it away we placed it onto our light box to explore its properties clearly. Magnifying glasses helped to see each part in more detail.
“It’s really cool”
The shed salon ✂️ 💅
This week our shed spontaneously became a hair, nail and makeup salon. Firstly the children used sticks and drawing pencils as pretend styling tools. As their interest grew we added real salon tools; hairdryer, straighteners, brushes, combs, mirrors and accessories.
The children’s use of accurate language and correct hand movements with each tool demonstrates the children’s extensive knowledge of the role of a hairdresser/beautician.
“Ssshhh was a hair”
Out of the salon the beautification continued into planting.
Exploring the differences in size, shape and colour between seeds.
Counting seeds and being gentle.
Bring on the spring sunshine to help our seeds grow big and strong.
