Due to the heat this week, we have eased and amended the timetable to ensure regulation and happiness of the children. We have been going outside earlier than normal to ensure outdoor time before the heat become unbearable. We have had the foam, bubbles and materials outside to explore.

In class we have been exploring the Indi cars and bee bots as early coding. This was the first time they have explored the Indi cars which follow instructions from the coloured mats. We are hoping to be able to spend more time exploring these.

Stay safe in the heat and we will see you next week.

Another lovely week in Butterflies.

We would like to wish everyone a Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing dads, grandads, and moms who wear both hats—you are truly appreciated! 🎉

This week, we’ve been diving into both creative and physical learning activities. In PE, the children have been enjoying a variety of games, including throwing and catching, bucket catch, hopscotch, and tunnel run. We’ve also been making the most of the gym, where the kids have had a blast with larger equipment like the spinning top, rainbow tunnel, and roller.

In art class, we’re diving into the world of sculpture! The children are experimenting with paper mache using homemade glue made from flour and water. By the end of the summer term, we aim to create farm animal sculptures that tie in with our farm-themed topic.
