Message From Our Teachers<\/h2>\n

November has been a cold and wet month at preschool. We experienced our first snow of the season! The pyjama and hot chocolate days were a highlight for the children. We look forward to repeating that in December!<\/p>\n

We finished up our pumpkin activities at the start of the month with painting, hammering pegs into the pumpkins, cutting pumpkins open, exploring the insides, and using pumpkins to stamp.<\/p>\n

For acknowledgement of Remembrance day, we did poppy stamping with red paint and decorated our classroom. You would have seen the black and red art displayed in the class this month.<\/p>\n

The 4 year olds had the opportunity to measure, pour and mix to make their own playdough. We added jello powder for colour and fragrance. Now we need to remember not to eat it!<\/p>\n

As we continue to learn social skills in class, the collaboration using the giant blocks and the negotiating that started to happen, was great to see. All the classes are still exploring the many ways to use the blocks.<\/p>\n

The children have been practising cutting with scissors and they are showing amazing skill and improvement. We will continue more cutting activities in December.<\/p>\n

We are looking forward to a lot of fun and play to happen in the last 3 weeks before the Christmas break. Our last class in the 3s will be on the 15th and the 4s on the 16th. We will have a one hour Christmas party on those days.<\/p>\n
