DAILY TOPIC:
 HAND WASHING,
WIPING NOSE AND
     GERMS

As we continued learning about our personal hygiene to-
day, we focused on germs. For Arts and Craft the children
selected one of the two germ outlines and used a variety
of materials to collage their germ. Using the glue stick
they spread the glue across their paper before spreading
out the crepe paper, wrapping paper and foam shapes.
Once they were finished the each chose the amount of
eyes they would like to complete their germs. As each
germ does not look the same the children’s germs are
unique as well, ranging from one eyed to having six eyes.

To continue on from our activity yesterday, the children
got engaged in some playdough play with the pipe clean-
ers and googly eyes. They used their fine motor skills and
creativity to imitate the image of germs with the
playdough. Despite it not being a germ creation, Violet
was very happy with her creation and mentioned what
she made was a cake, Miss Taylor then sung the Happy
Birthday song to her and she pretended to blow out the
candles. Spencer, Mikayla and Nate were inspired from
Violet and also created a birthday cake, and Miss Taylor
sung the Happy Birthday song to each of them.

To continue learning about germs the children engaged
in the germ I spy activity. Miss Briohny filled the water
trough with shredded paper and scattered germ pictures
in amongst the paper. Using their hands they searched
through the paper, using their sense of touch to locate
the germs. Upon discovering a germ the children cele-
brated their achievements.

Before lunch we decided to do some dancing on the mat for group time.
Miss Briohny put on some fun dancing music and all of the children wanted
to get involved. Mikayla, Spencer and Yoonu held hands and spun around in
a circle until they got dizzy and fell down. Mikayla and Nathaniel asked Miss
Stacey to pick them up and they watched themselves in the mirror on the
wall while they danced. Xin Yan joined in from the table and made up her
own dance moves. In a Wiggles song the children practiced their balancing
on one foot. Everyone had a great time and did so much dancing that they
were all very ready for rest time at the end.

We were lucky to be able to enjoy some outdoor play this morning.
At the table Spencer and Mikayla used their imagination and crea-
tivity skills to work with the Lego’s. selecting the blocks one by one
they worked with trial and error, connecting the blocks to create the
shape they had in mind. Nathaniel demonstrated his gross motor
skills as he climbed along the obstacle course ,while on the mat
Thomas spent some time playing with the animals in the dolls hose.
Thomas and Yoonu also enjoyed riding the bikes together around
the yard, taking turns being the leaders. Before coming inside Violet
and Yoonu worked in the sandpit, using the shovels to dig the sand
and to pour it back into the sand. Yoonu picked one of the diggers
and used it to move around the sand, scooping sand and pouring it
into another spot.
