Cobble Hill Playschool

Our little learners were introduced to “Not A Box” 📦 in performing arts! The curriculum emerged into a month long, school wide collaboration: building a box city! Complete with windows, tunnels, chimneys, and decorative details, every student in our school added to (and joyfully played in) this awesome structure! Swipe to the last slide to see a time lapse of the take down by our very own Anna 🍌

Maybe you’ve heard our exciting news— our eggs have finally hatched! 🐣

Making magic by making messes! The power of messy play in preschool is unparalleled! Allowing children the opportunity to freely explore their senses without the constraints of keeping things tidy is a regular occurrence here at CHP! A few of our messy adventures from this year, pictured!

Mini-golf, which emerged as an interest in the Blue Gummies classroom, has expanded to a school wide interest! Each of our classes had the opportunity to help create a putt-putt green, contributing to the design and decor of each! Through the week, our classes will take turns visiting CHPs very own mini golf course! ⛳️

At CHP, our students are continuing to explore light and dark! In studio arts, all of our classes had the opportunity to use neon oil pastels and water color paints on a large mural. Then, they got to see how the neon colors interacted with blue light from the projector, and layer on even more to their vibrant collective creations! Swipe through to see some of our kids in process, and to see what the art looks like without the blue light on!

Can you guess what story our students heard, then re-enacted, in the shadow puppet theater in Performing Arts? 👧🏼🐻🐻🧸🪑🥣🛏️

Using a print making technique to create the branch and stems, then adding colors and details with paint and paper leaves- our students have been exploring the changes of the seasons in Studio Arts!

Our 4s are making their new class pets (the stick bugs) feel right at home! They had the sweet idea to create some artwork for their twiggy little buddies!

One of our wonderful families brought in an interesting, exciting new addition to the science center in the 4s room: stick bugs! Students and teachers alike have enjoyed inspecting these master camouflagers!

After being presented with a “spark” (some black and white designs inspired by Aboriginal artwork), our 4 year olds created their own striking pieces!

Our favorite event of the year is happening this evening! The annual silent auction is an opportunity to raise funds for our students, but more importantly- an opportunity to gather as a joyful, connected community! We cannot wait to see you tonight, CHP families!

Take a peek at our story for some more shots of last year’s incredible soirée! And here’s the link in case you want to get a bid in early: https://e.givesmart.com/s/:0YHZXvZgD7n/e/Fg6/i/

It’s Election Day! Our CHP students engaged with the democratic process of voting to mark the occasion! For the past few weeks, our little learners have had the opportunity to listen to “Pete the Cat” and “Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus”. Today- each student cast a vote to determine group consensus: Which book do we like more? Our 4 year olds were the ballot counters (with hep from Elise!) Swipe through to see which book won!
