This week, the Finches were learning and talking about safety. We had a special visit from the firefighters and we were able to see and learn about fire trucks.
We also baked, painted and played different games that helped us practice our fine motor skills.

An interesting week for Puffins this one. We have continued with our sensory play. We have been expressing our creativity and working on our fine motor skills by making different shapes with playdough and kinetic sand. For the safety week we listened to sounds of fire truck, fire alarm and running footsteps, as well as some songs about fire drill. Also, practiced to crawl under the "smoke". We had a nice visit from a fire truck and children were quite happy about it.
Outdoor time has been enjoyable with sun rays or rainy drops 🚒🚒☀️🌧️ ... See MoreSee Less
