CREATIVITY…IN COLOUR!!!  -T/Th Fine Arts & Science


In our classroom we have recently been concentrating on the many different colours in the world around us.


As Early Childhood Educators, when we consider the different experiences we offer the children to explore, we always hope to see them individually interact and also collaborate creatively.

The last few weeks we have tried to provide a good variety of “colourful” activities to stimulate the children’s different senses, causing them to see, hear, touch and manually manipulate many different parts in their free play time.




It has been interesting to encourage conversations about colours as the children play and converse at circle time….discussing their favourite colour, the colours of foods that we eat, the colour of our shoes and clothes and the colours of the leaves changing around us. These chats allow us to know each other better and become more comfortable connecting with each other verbally.

We have offered the opportunity to manipulate dough, dig in sensory bins, build with various types of blocks, paint, draw, cut as well as read, sing, dance, climb, swing, slide and design their own games using loose parts.




Giving children the chance to develop their gross and fine motor skills using a variety of play places and projects gives them great confidence and causes them to grow and learn in many ways.


It is our goal as educators to give your children a continually changing and challenging environment in which they can develop their creativity more and more!!!

Social Responsibility: Down to the Core

Social responsibility- a term that has now become quite common in the field of education and has the potential to lose its meaning if we are not careful. As an early childhood educator, I have always placed great importance on the need to develop this way of thinking in young children. It is for this reason that we engage in activities that benefit others, such as volunteering at our local food bank, adopting an owl, or raising money for Variety Club. With the recent catastrophe in the Philippines, my mind was suddenly thrown into its own typhoon. I found myself asking questions around social responsibility and what it really means. What does it mean to me? What does it mean to my preschoolers? How far does it extend into the world around us? Can four year old children grasp these deep and complex concepts? What can they understand about their world? How can we teach them about being socially responsible to: ones self; ones family; ones community; ones province; ones country; ones worl...

On Monday, we became adopted parents of a dwarf frog. It was given to us by an alumni parent whose daughter no longer wanted it and I suppose she thought I was a vulnerable victim (clearly she was right!) and I said "Yes, we would love it,". Well, there is truth in that because the children already love this little creature. The Junior OSC children made Do Not Touch signs posted near the mini aquarium and our preschoolers made the frog pictures today and wanted to shower him/her with gifts. On Monday I asked them to go home and think about a name for the frog and bring their suggestion back to class on Wednesday. So, this morning we compiled our potential name list, with the understanding that we would be voting on the name. The name suggestions were as follows: Cynna: Badgie Colin: Jack Brooke: Flower Kayla: Froggie Luca: Penguin ( NOT Penguino) Alexa: Flower Bryn: Froggie Cole: Froggie Emily: Ella Zev: Spot Chloe: Eric Cash: Benji Wayne: Jackie The big vote ...
