Swans Room News August Newsletter

Over the past month, we have been very busy enjoying wowing our teachers, braving the wet July and having had lots of fun. One week we were set a funny challenge - Paint with anything but a paintbrush. The children came up with some great ideas. Some worked well and others left us a bit messy, but we loved figuring it all out. We used feathers, leaves, pinecones, lots of different shape blocks and even string. We also looked a lot at healthy foods this past month and were so excited to try the potato curry that Chef Oli made using the potatoes grown in our planters. We also tried lots of different fruits and made fruit kebabs. This past month we also learnt about the Country of the Month ‘Greece’. We used lots of different materials and ideas to make our own versions of the Greek Flag. We listened to some traditional Greek music and saw a video of a plate smashing. We also looked at pictures of Greek mosaics and used real mosaic tiles to create two as a class. The children did a fabulous job of taking their time, placing them carefully. The result was beautiful! In and amongst all of that learning the Swans also managed to learn their Graduation songs and dances and wowed their grown-ups. The ceremony went very well with the children all doing a superb job. The grown ups even joined in with some of the singing and dancing. Thankfully the weather was perfect, and we all had a BBQ outside to celebrate the children’s preschool achievements. What a lovely day.
