We have enjoyed a very busy month in the lead up to our Christmas activities and concert next month. As you can imagine, young children are unable to be rushed, so we planned for art / painting and craft to be spread throughout November to ensure the children are having a positive experience.
The main interest of this month has been the home corner. Each week, we had added more resources, including pots and pans, baking dishes, tea pots and cups. We have spent a lot of time talking with the children during their play and role modelling correct use of the equipment. For example, how to pour the tea into the cup, blowing on it before we (pretend) drink /eat hot things. We have noticed the children continuing with this dramatic play with each other and with dolls.
Now the weather is warming up, the children are spending more time outside. We have a lovely new shade cloth outside, however we still require your child to have sunscreen applied both in the morning (by you) and again in the afternoon (by us). Please help us to keep a track of who has sunscreen on by ticking the daily information sheet every time sunscreen has been applied. We are working very hard at keeping the children’s hats on their heads while outside!!
Thank you for a wonderful month.
The Echidna Team xx
