Newsletter Tadika Ariana
January 2010
We have been very busy this month in the Pre- School room.
Science
We enjoyed playing in the snow and painted a snowman. We learned about how water freezes and melts by experimenting –“putting snow into the water tray and making ice cubes in the freezer.”
Technology
We focused on using the mouse on the computer correctly. We practiced writing our names and played “The Ace Monkey” computer game teaching us about number, colours and shapes. We took some photographs and learned how to” use the camera.”
Literacy
We have been practicing to write our name properly. We have been sharing the books the children brought to the nursery at story time.
Social Studies
The children celebrated Burns Day by painting thistles and the Scottish flag .We glued tartan onto kilts and tasted haggis turnips and potatoes which Louise brought in.
Staff Training
The Pre School staff has been receiving training for The Curriculum For Excellence and it is going well.
Al the staff passed the Infection Control exam.
Sparkle Arts
Sparkle Arts is still visiting on Tuesdays and the children are thoroughly enjoying the music and dance session.
Health and Wellbeing
The house corner was turned into a hospital and the shop into a chemist. The children enjoyed Role-play and using the doctors’ instruments. We also had a real Blood Pressure monitor which Ali supervised.
Numeracy
In November we measured the children’s heights .We will measure again in May.
