Puffins started the week with a lovely Diwali celebration 🪔✨, dancing to the rhythm of Diwali music.
Then we moved on to some fun Halloween crafts! The children splatted paint on paper and added googly eyes to make colourful monsters. 👀🎨
They have also been loving the sensory play with zip-lock bags filled with two colours of paint. The children used their fingers to draw different shapes or simply squash and press the bags!

Penguins and Parrots had a lovely week. We decorated some beautiful kites 🪁 with little shapes that they cut out themselves with hole punches. We had a fun Diwali party ✨ where we looked at pictures of the celebration and talked about them, had a dance party, and ate delicious treats! 😋
We also enjoy being under a cozy blanket during storytime. It makes it much more special! ☺️ And this week during forest trip🌲, we practiced a lot of jumping! 🤸🏽♂️

Last week was a good week at the Hawks!
The first few days the yard was covered in leaves so they had so much fun throwing them in the air and making big piles🍂 Later on there was plenty of indoor play; we did some partner play, continued making some birthday charts and finished up most of our papermache planets 🌌
