This week:
This week our friends worked very hard on their Christmas cards! Some friends decided to use a brush while others decided to make lines with their fingers. Children were also given the option whether to add glitter, they then picked the glitter of their choice and sprinkled it onto their paper! Not to mention during this activity children actively worked on their fine motor skills, color mixing was evident along with verbal communication.
We also worked on a very special project, during this project children mixed blue and silver paint! We observed the difference it makes when we mix glitter onto the paint rather then sprinkling it on to the canvas. Most children preferred to sprinkle the glitter!
Making Brownies:
During our cooking experience children learn, develop and enjoy themselves so much. There are many reasons and benefits of cooking such as:
Mathematics skills: Counting, addition, multiplication, ratios, fractions, measurements, timing etc are a fundamental part of cooking.
Science in action: Cooking really is a science! What happens when you heat up butter? What happens when you add liquid ingredients to dry ingredients? Cooking allows children to explore many fascinating interactions between different substances.
Following instructions: Following a recipe is an excellent way for children to practice following instructions.
Language and vocabulary: Cooking is a great way to introduce new words, phrases and concepts to children
