In preschool it means leaves, muddy buddies, pumpkins, dress up, and spiders! As all the children were starting to settle in and connect with their peers and teachers, our play got bigger, better and messier this month!<\/p>\n<p>Since the rain started, the water barrel outside has given us endless joy. We found some interesting bugs in our yard and we got to observe them up close in our terrarium.<\/p>\n<p>We had another visit to the art gallery and we appreciated the local artists. We had our in-house pumpkin patch and finding pumpkins in our yard was so exciting. We dressed up for Halloween and had a small party to celebrate. We got to practice our earthquake-drill in all the classes on BC Shake Out day. Individual and class photos were taken this month as well.<\/p>\n<p>Toasty Marshmallow, our classroom guinea pig, has been a huge favourite. All the children love feeding her veggies! Please let us know if you would like to host Toasty for a week or so during winter break.<\/p>\n<p>Highlights this month included musical instruments, painting at the easel, liquid glue collages, playdough, dinosaurs, dress-up, spiders and TRAINS!<\/p>\n<p>The loft space is a favourite place to find a quiet spot, an impromptu &#8216;picnic&#8217; or just getting a different perspective from above!<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Your QPP teachers<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat:

In preschool it means leaves, muddy buddies, pumpkins, dress up, and spiders! As all the children were starting to settle in and connect with their peers and teachers, our play got bigger, better and messier this month! Since the rain started, the water barrel outside has given us endless joy. We found some interesting bugs in our yard and we got to observe them up close in our terrarium. We had another visit to the art gallery and we appreciated the local artists. We had our in-house pumpkin patch and finding pumpkins in our yard was so exciting.

Individual and class photos were taken this month as well. Toasty Marshmallow, our classroom guinea pig, has been a huge favourite. All the children love feeding her veggies! Please let us know if you would like to host Toasty for a week or so during winter break.
