March/April
Throughout the months of March and April, we will be exploring the following exciting topics: Spring, the farm and Easter!
We are looking forward to exploring the new season of Spring; observing new flowers growing outdoors, reading and learning about new animals being born, as well as hopefully enjoy some warmer weather outdoors! In addition to all of this, we will be learning more about the farm through our play and community time learning; naming different farm animals and talking about their bodies/features, learning about the different products they give us, as well as learn more about tractors and other farm machinery.
We will also be taking part in various Easter activities!
For March and April, our focus shape is oval and our focus colours are green and purple! Please encourage your child to go on a shape and colour hunt around your house and outdoors. Can they spot any green objects/purple objects/oval shaped objects?
We will also be providing lots of opportunities to develop our fine and gross motor skills both indoors and outdoors.
We had a visit form the Easter Bunny. He hid chocolate lollies around our playground and we had to go on a hunt to find them.
