Hi there Moms and Dads,
Now that we've learnt about the birds we thought it would be a good time to learn about the bees! OK, before I give you the wrong idea, our theme for this week was insects, which naturally includes bees :-)
So what makes the insect unique to the animal kingdom? Well first they have 6 legs which are attached to their bodies made up of a head, thorax and abdomen. Oh yes and of course they have little antennae on their heads which are complex sensory organs used for various purposes such as touch, taste and smell. We also learnt about the life cycle of the butterfly and its amazing journey from caterpillar to pupa and back to butterfly - truly a magical transformation.
The children put their little antennae or rather hands to good use during life skills and art this week making butterfly shaped cookies and ladybugs from paper plates respectively. All the kids enjoyed the cookies so much they even asked me to share the recipe with them which I will arrange next week.
For the letter "h" this week we made hand prints and came up with some choice words such as hair, hippo, heart and happy.
We were also fortunate enough to have Sally (not Morah Sally) come and perform some classical children’s stories for us. We were treated to the Princess and the Pea, The Tortoise and the Hare and The Ugly Duckling, lots of fun!
This week Daniel celebrates his 4th birthday - Happy Birthday Daniel!
Wishing you all a Shabbat Shalom and fantastic weekend.
Lots of love till next time
Morah Tanya
