Mother's Day Tea (4 year old class)

With all the wonderful moms in mind, lots of planning and creativity went into organizing our Mother's Day Tea.

In advance of the Tea, the children made cereal cookies, designed personal plates and cards as gifts, and practiced for a special Play in honour of all the mothers.

The children poured, scooped, measured, and stirred, and then helped put the cookies on the baking trays.

The children made drawings with ceramic pens on plates, and also made fingerprint cards, as a gift for their moms.

The morning of the Tea, the children helped make cucumber and cheese sandwiches, prepare fruit cups and set the tables.

When the moms arrived at 11:00am, they were entertained by the children's Play called Bunny's Drawing. Christy did a wonderful job playing the lead role as Bunny.

The story tells of a bunny who draws a self portrait for her mom, but on the way home many different animals suggest changes to the portrait, and bunny obliges. The end drawing is a far cry from the original, and now includes stripes like a zebra, a mane like a lion, a trunk like an elephant.......

After the Play, the children brought their gifts over to their moms to open.

The children then served their moms the Mother's Day tea they had prepared, along with water with lemon and tea.

It was an enjoyable morning from start to finish, and the children appreciated and took pleasure in having the opportunity to be extra special to their wonderful moms this day.

Happy Mother's Day!

The River - 4 Hour Class

We went out to the park to play and something caught our eyes. There was something new and different. One of the paths in the park was flooded with water. The children quickly gravitated towards it and decided to walk in the water. Chloe said that they were crossing a river. Andrew noted that they can walk in the water because they are wearing their boots. Sara replied with “our feet won't get wet”. Adonis was watching the other children walk in the water. I knew how badly he wanted to do it as well. But he was not wearing his boots. He went around the playground and saw a big branch and started dragging it. I wondered what he would do with the branch. Adonis brought it to “the river” and started tossing it in the water. Alvis saw what he was doing and quickly joined in. Adonis threw the branch in the water and Alvis got it in “the river” for him. Alvis was wearing his boots so he was able to be in “the river”. They speculated about the size of the splash on

Oil, Water & Food Colouring - 4 Year Old Class

The children experimented with oil, water, food colouring and pipettes this morning. They squeezed drops of coloured water into a layer of oil and were engaged for a very long while. This is a simple activity with an intriguing effect. Irena gently and carefully shook the tray back and forth, blending colours. Roan watched a small drop rolling up and down the pipette. Daniel said “The circle drop is getting bigger and darker. It's dark green and red and purple.” Charlie seemed intrigued while watching water move up and down the pipette as he squeezes the bottom. Lucas thoughtfully puts the strips of paper from a weaving activity in order, and then begins threading the strips through. A very time consuming activity. While Lucas was having snack, Tiffany and Cara decide to take over where he left off. Lucas comes over to check out the progress. Lucas, while looking at the completed activity said “Cool, the g
