♥️Fabulous February❤

Welcome to February!

We celebrated Chinese new year through various experiences in the playroom.  We enjoyed mark making  in Chinese writing, creating red and gold collages and even making a dragon! We moved and danced with our dragon round the sensory pathway, adding musical percussion.

At snack, we got to try some soy sauce on our rice noodles,  rice and prawn crackers (and in some cases apple ). The noodles were really sticky and difficult pick up, we had to give them a good shake to fall off the tongs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We read a lovely story about Shen and her magic paintbrush (The Magic Paintbrush by Julia Donaldson).  We all pretended to paint the scary beast with red scales with our own paint brushes before acting out the story – galloping on our horses was the best part!

2D Shapes

The children are continuing to learn the names of 2d shapes and discussing their properties through various experiences throughout the playroom.  We’re beginning to notice shapes in our environment too.

“Mrs McLean, the door is a rectangle and that cushion is a square!” H
