This week, the children enjoyed a lovely planting activity as they planted sunflower seeds into small cups outdoors. After planting, we brought the cups inside, where they will be carefully monitored and nurtured until the first sprouts begin to appear. Once the seedlings are strong enough, we will replant them together in our large flower patch outside. During centre time, the children listened to the story One Little Seed by Lesley Sims. After the story, we had a group discussion about what flowers need to grow, and the children shared wonderful ideas such as sunshine, water, soil, and care. Each child carefully planted their own sunflower seed into a cup, and everyone was very excited to begin growing their flowers. Over the coming weeks, we will continue to observe and care for them together, and we look forward to seeing just how tall and beautiful our sunflowers will grow.

In celebration of Environment Day, the children explored the beautiful colours of the Earth and the wonders of nature around them. Inspired by natural elements such as leaves, flowers, soil, sky, and butterflies, the children engaged in a creative butterfly painting experience using the pour-and-press technique. As they poured and pressed the paints together, the children observed the magical symmetrical patterns that appeared on their butterfly wings. Through this hands-on experience, they explored colour mixing, creativity, and the beauty of balance found in nature.

The Tiny Tigers embark on an exciting animal adventure through music and movement! This week, we focus on animals that travel along the ground, exploring how they move in different ways.
