Nina Marni LDC -3 children and families. welcome to our weekly blog.
Children are continuing to investigate their environment and express their emerging curiosity.
This week our first learning intention is to encourage children’s expression of ideas and identity through collaborative visual art/making experiences and mark making. We have been engaging the children creating Easter baskets ,bunny crowns, painting with water colours and acrylic paint, cutting and pasting collages, as well as painting Easter eggs and making Easter cards.
Our second learning spotlight week 9and 10 is to support children to understand the values of Easter.
We facilitated this through:
- Supporting children to develop their understanding the values of Easter, such as love, forgiveness, hope and new beginning through group discussions and stories
- Encouraging them to reflect and practice gratitude.
- The importance of forgiveness – saying sorry and accepting apologies.
- Promoting social skills, Easter activities involve group participation, which helps preschoolers practice sharing, taking turns and working together with their peers.
- Introducing cultural traditions. Easter is a religious and cultural holiday celebrated in various ways around the world. Engaging preschoolers in easter-themed activities
The children participated in construction play and pretend play where they created many forms of houses, cars, shops and many more creative constructions.
Learning intension 1 week 10 is To continue to develop children’s cutting and pasting skills using a range of natural and manmade materials.
Specks of gold !!!
