Week Three

Dear Parents and Guardians

This week we have been learning about planets and stars. Below are some pictures of the activities we did this week.

After our adventure on the Moon last week, The children made their own Moon with its craters, which they counted and also described their shape.

They wrote their initial letter on a star using glue and then sprinkled glitter on it. We all sang ´The Planets Song´ and started to make the Solar System that will decorate the Space area when finished. They have been learning how to create paper mache balloons to make Mercury and Venus.

We all got very messy making "Alien" spaghetti for sensory play. They dyed the pasta green and enjoyed playing with it and describing its texture.

Next week we will continue to make the rest of the planets and the Sun. We will look at their colour, shape and size.

Outdoor Education Day will take place on Thursday the 18th of May from 13:15- 14:40. There will be different activities set up at the main campus and all the teachers and children will attend. Parents are also welcome to participate. We hope to see you there.

Best Regards,

Lisy Ros and Sylvia Gillicker
