Nn- Night

We are so excited for our concert tomorrow! We can’t wait for you to see all of the hard work that the Bugs have put in! 

Twinkle-twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are… This was one of many Space themed songs that were sung over the past 2 weeks and boy did we have fun singing them!   

Our Busy Bugs absolutely loved learning about space and all of  the aspects involved. We spoke about the planets, meteors, stars, the milky way, astronauts and rockets. We watched lots of videos teaching us about all of these things and looked at loads of awesome pictures taken by satellites. We learned that we live on planet Earth, and this is the only planet that is known to have enough surface water to be inhabited by humans. We learned that Saturn has a giant ring of floating ice and rock chunks, and that Jupiter is the biggest planet in our solar system.   

We spoke about astronauts and their space gear. They must wear special suits and helmets while up in space because humans cannot breathe that far up. We spoke about gravity and how it makes objects, including people, stay on the ground. If there was no gravity, we would float away- the Bugs thought this was very funny! We also spoke about the special food that astronauts eat.  

For art, we made 2 beautiful Space pieces, but we loved them so much, we have decided to keep the for Art Expo!  

We also made a collaborative art piece, where each Bugs got to make a different part of the solar system.  

We hope that you all have a lovely weekend, and we will see you next week for another exciting theme!  

This week’s question: 

In your view, is Pluto still a planet? 

Next week’s theme: Dinosaurs and Under the Soil

Cooking and Food

This week our theme was cooking, and the Bugs had an absolute blast! We spoke about the importance of washing our hands before preparing food and discussed how to stay safe in the kitchen. The Bugs were very excited to share that they often help Mommy and Daddy when cooking at home, and it was wonderful to see how much they already knew about kitchen safety and cleanliness.

Under The Sea

We mainly focused on educational activities such as cutting, drawing, shapes, colours, and counting. The Bugs also worked hard on following instructions and showed great improvement in their concentration and fine motor skills. In between our lessons, we made sure to enjoy some free play, giving the Bugs time to explore, build friendships, and express themselves creatively.
