Dear Parents,

The Early Years team (EY 1 & EY 2) would like to

have a garden day at school on the 4th of October

where we will be planting flowers and vegetables

in our gardens. Our goal with this is to encourage

the students to keep the playground neat and to give

them the responsibility to take care of the plants and

the environment.

We want to ask if you can donate plant/potting soil/

flowering plant that your child can plant and we can

all enjoy seeing how the flowers are growing together.

Regards EY 1 & EY 2

HAPPY WORLD PEACE DAY!!!

EASY PLAY DOUGH RECIPE 

You need:

• 2 cups plain flour (all purpose)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil  (baby oil and coconut oil work too)
• 1/2 cup salt
• 2 tablespoons cream of tartar
• 1 to 1.5 cups boiling water (adding in increments until it feels just right)
• food coloring (optional)
• few drops glycerine (my secret ingredient for stretch and shine!)

Method:

• Mix the flour, salt, cream of tartar and oil in a large mixing bowl
• Add food colouring TO the boiling water then into the dry ingredients
• Stir continuously until it becomes a sticky, combined dough
• Add the glycerine (optional)
• Allow it to cool down then take it out of the bowl and knead it vigorously for a couple of minutes until all of the stickiness has gone. * This is the most important part of the process, so keep at it until it’s the perfect consistency!*
• If it remains a little sticky then add a touch more flour until just right

FINE MOTOR
ACTIVITIES






Here are some activities(pictures)
that you can do with your children at home to help
and improve their fine motor skills
  The importance of fine motor skills:

Fine motor skills are those that involve a refined use of the small muscles which control the hand, fingers and thumb. With the development of these skills, a child is able to complete important tasks such as writing, feeding oneself, buttoning and zippering. These abilities gradually develop through experience and exposure to a variety of toys, materials and even foods.
Why is fine motor skill development important? Little hands need to develop dexterity and strength. We, as parents or caregivers, can help this process by encouraging children to play, explore and interact with a variety of items. Toys, clothing fasteners, safe scissors and play dough are all tactile examples of practices that facilitate fine motor development. Even doing age appropriate tasks in the kitchen are great ways to help build fine motor skills. These types of “play” activities and manipulation skills will actually help prepare a child to hold and use a crayon. The ability to do so is the first step in learning to color, draw and ultimately write.

First week of School.

This week was mostly to settle in and for the students to become comfortable in class and get to know the teachers and fellow classmates.

We did our classroom agreement and everyone was very engaging and able to contribute what they feel we should have in our classroom agreement. Will be posting pictures of our agreement next week.
