Animals and their products- Aurora( September 7-11)

Dear Parents and Friends,

It has been a rainy wee ☔ Although we were not able to spend much time outside, we enjoyed many fun and meaningful activities indoors together.

As we continued our animal inquiry, we explored animals and their products through a cutting-and-pasting activity. The children applied what they had learned and showed that they were Knowledgeable as they matched different animals with the products we get from them.

We also enjoyed an exciting Animal Guessing Game! 🐶🐱🐮🐑

As part of the children’s everyday learning experiences, we challenged them to guess different animal sounds. The teacher played an animal sound, and the children listened carefully and tried to guess which animal was making the sound.

Once they recognized the sound, they had to quickly find and run to the correct animal picture that was placed around the classroom! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🐾

The children had lots of fun listening, guessing, moving their bodies, and learning about different animals and the sounds they make. It was a wonderful way to combine listening skills, quick thinking, movement, and animal vocabulary! ✨


We also practiced our fine motor and pre-writing skills by tracing horizontal and vertical lines. The children worked carefully on holding their pencils correctly, and most of them showed a good pencil grasp. It was wonderful to see them becoming more confident and developing better control as they practiced.

We also had an opportunity to practice for the Sports Festival in the hallway. The children tried their very best, and it was lovely to see Rainbow Class watching and cheering for them. Their encouragement helped make the practice even more exciting!

After spending some time indoors, we were happy to finally take a stroll to the park. It had been a while since our last park visit, so the children were very excited to play! It was wonderful to see how much they have grown. Many of them can now climb the play structures independently and confidently. They also enjoyed chasing and playing with one another, making the most of their time at the park. Seeing their growing independence and confidence was such a joy!

Even with the rainy weather, Aurora had a wonderful week full of learning, practicing, playing, and growing together. 🌈

We had a wonderful birthday party in the music room to celebrate our September birthday celebrator! 🎉🎂

The Rainbow teachers entertained everyone with a fun and exciting activity they had prepared, and all the children enjoyed celebrating together.

This month, we had two special birthday celebrators! (One of them was absent…though) Happy Birthday to our dear students! 🥳🎈 We are so proud of how much you have grown and all the wonderful things you can do. We look forward to seeing you continue to grow and shine in the future. 🌟

Have a glimpse of our students applying what they have learned!

Have a lovely weekend, everyone! Stay safe and enjoy your time together!
