CAMOUFLAGE PAINTING

The educators introduced the concept of camouflage and explained how animals use colours and patterns to blend into their surroundings. The children were shown toys of camouflaged animals and then given paper and bingo dabbers to create their own camouflage paintings. This engaging activity supported observation skills, creativity, fine motor development, language development, and early understanding of animals and their environments.

Our toddlers engaged in an activity where they made a fish aquarium. The activity started with a box that the children worked together to paint blue like the ocean. Once the box was dry the educators assisted the children to create paper fish that they then attached to the inside top of the box to complete the fish aquarium.

Language & Literacy : The educator read the story Mama Panya’s Pancakes and talked with the children about how Mama Panya prepared pancakes and invited friends to share them. Inspired by the story, the children created their own invitations for their friends using paper, glue, ribbons, and feathers. This engaging activity supported creativity, fine motor skills, communication, social development, and an understanding of friendship and sharing.

Yesterday our preschool 2 classroom had the chance to plant flowers. This was an amazing activity for the childrennto engagement and participate in. With the help of an educator each child filled their cup with soil put a seed in and then used the spray bottles to hydrate the soil and help the seed start to grow.

Toddler 2 went on a scavenger hunt for animals in the class. The children had a sheet with all the animals that they needed to find. Once they found an animal they made a check mark in the corresponding square on the sheet.
Our toddlers had a lot of fun with this activity, when they found an animal some of the childden even made the correct noise.

Our toddler 3 children had a wonderful time playing at the car wash. They laughed and smiled as they covered the cars with soapy bubbles, using sponges to scrub every part of the car. They enjoyed making lots of foam, splashing water, and working together to grt the car sparkling clean. It was a fun, hands-on wctivity they kept everyone entertained while teaching them the valie of teamwork and helping out.

A heartfelt thank you to all the families who helped support our Alex's Lemonade Stand fundraiser. Your generosity, kindness, and participation made a meaningful difference. Together, we are helping fund research and support for children with cancer and we couldn't have done it without you!

Thank you for making a positive impact and for being a part of this important cause.

Congratulations to the class of 2026! It was a great celebration and we are so proud of you! Wishing you much success as you adventure off to Kindergarten.
