Rr – Recycling

What an exciting and important theme this is for all of us at EcoKids Preschool! This is what we’re all about! This is who we are! We had a wonderful and informative week, learning all about recycling and reusing instead of just throwing things away. 

This week, we learned that there are four main types of recyclables: paper, plastic, glass, and tins. We also discovered that a lot of rubbish that isn’t recycled ends up in the oceans, hurting sea creatures and polluting the water! 

We even had a practical activity where the Pups threw papers in the dustbin and cleaned their hands afterwards to make sure they were germ-free. The Pups did such a fantastic job! 

For art this week, the Pups and teachers teamed up. We sprinkled grated wax crayon on wax paper, then cut out old plastic bags that said RECYCLE and placed them in the middle of the wax paper with the wax crayons. Teacher Tebeth then used an iron to melt the wax paper, creating a stunning mix of colours. We wrapped the colourful creations around formula tins, turning them into upcycled “dustbins” for your bread plastics and bread tags. Once you and your Pup fill the tin, please bring it to school so we can use them for our nappy-changing stations for the little ones – we are always REDUCING, REUSING, AND RECYCLING! 

We also worked hard on our Art Expo projects, making them as exciting as possible. The Pups absolutely loved painting and sticking different objects! 

Another wonderful event this week was welcoming two more Pups to our class. We are so happy to have them join our EcoKids family! 

 

Recycling turns things into other things ... which is like MAGIC!

Me and My Body

This week, we had so much fun with our “My Body” theme. We explored all the different body parts, and the Pups were awesome at pointing them out—everyone was so engaged! We also sang “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes” (I’m sure you know that one too!). It was such a blast watching the little bodies move and groove!

Travel and Holidays

For art, the Pups had the opportunity to express their travel preferences by painting the outline of their chosen mode of transport—a train or an airplane. They added their own imaginative touches to the artwork and then had fun mimicking the sounds and movements of the vehicles. Their enthusiasm was contagious as they chugged like trains and soared like airplanes!
