We started off our day with morning exploration. We worked with Mme Rebecca in small groups to do a cutting and pasting spider web activity. We then had our welcome song and daily check in. After recess and outdoor play, we came in for Brain Gym and our Calendar Routine. We then did some alphabet sounds and songs. We practiced printing our names and wrote our names in our portfolios to have a memory of our printing in the month of October. We then went to the library for a special Halloween visit. The librarian was dressed up in costume. We did poems, a couple of songs, a game and listened to a story. No books were borrowed this week. Library will be back to normal next week. After lunch and outdoor play, we had a special visit from Sara, Samuel's mum. Sara took us to the river at the back of the field to talk about the creek. We learned about how storms and rainfall can make the river higher, and change how the grass and leaves look. We learned about the different trees, insects and fish that could be found in our creek, crayfish even! We also talked about how cars, dirt and pollution changes the water found in the creek. Mme Sara showed us some of her tools she uses to check and test the water. This was very interesting, Thank you Mme Sara. We ended our afternoon with show and tell, a veggie snack and music class.
