This week, the Alberga Hawks continued with their theme about the human body. We learnt how important it is to PLAY, EAT, and SLEEP to help our muscles and bones grow strong. 🛝🍽️🛌💤
We also had some hands-on fun discovering the digestive system and heart. We pretended our stomach was digesting food using vinegar in a plastic bag, and mimicked our heart pumping blood with a jar, balloon, and straws! 🫀💪
We learnt how a scale works by experimenting and testing different objects around the daycare to see which were heavier or lighter. ⚖️
We wrapped up the week with a special Friendship Day celebration, coloring optical illusion hearts together and sharing what makes a good friend. 💕✨
