Toddlers experience with Humpty Dumpty
30 January, 2016 Leave a Comment
The Toddlers have been learning popular nursery rhymes so far this term. A favourite has been Humpty Dumpty and they have been exploring the rhyme in a variety of ways.
Perhaps the highlight for the children (teachers) was the experiment in using a real egg when telling the rhyme and watching it fall and breaking. The children were most concerned in seeing the broken Humpty Dumpty. However, attention quickly shifted when they were given a boiled egg to crack, peel and eat! YUM!

We recently had the joy of celebrating St.Patricks day with our very own Irishman, Mr. Jason, our Year 6 teacher.We went wild with rainbow crafts and green 4 leaf clovers.
We hopped right into April with bouncy bunnies, fragrant flowers and egg-cellent Easter eggs.
Come join us on Friday April 11th for our Easter Bonnet parade and PTA egg hunt.
Thanks

This term, toddler class is taking a sensory adventure in Nature. We have explored these different elements through Art, hiking, wet and dry sensory tables and crafts.Recently, we hiked through the school’s “forest” and discovered the climbing frame as well as the small fort. We take every opportunity, through play and exploration, to learn about ourselves and the world we live in.
