Oh, what an absolute blast we had with our Science and Experiments theme! It was hands-down one of the highlights for our little adventurers! 

Let me tell you about our first experiment—it was pure magic! We took some wood glue and sprinkled salt on top, then waited eagerly for it to dry. Once it was all set, we grabbed our paintbrushes and added splashes of colourful paint. The Pups were absolutely enthralled as they watched the colours swirl and mix together, just like a beautiful rainbow unfolding before their eyes! 

And then came our pepper, water, and soap experiment—what a hoot! We filled bowls with water and pepper, and then added a dash of soap. The moment that soap touched the water, it was like a party! The pepper scattered away, following the soap’s lead. It was like a tiny pepper parade right before our eyes! 

Now, let’s talk about our week dedicated to the colour yellow. We gathered all sorts of sunny yellow objects and spent time talking about each one. The giggles and excitement were contagious as we explored the vibrant world of yellow together! 

But that’s not all—we also engaged in some fine motor activities that were a hit with our little ones. With careful hands, we scooped tiny beads and big beads into a muffin pan, showcasing some impressive coordination and concentration. 

Each experiment and activity wasn’t just about learning science or colours—it was about creating lasting memories and sparking curiosity in our young explorers. Oh, what a marvellous journey it was! 

Positive Vibes!

Without a doubt, the biggest hit of the week was learning all about rockets and spaceships. Our little astronauts absolutely loved counting backwards from 10 before launching themselves into space with lots of enthusiastic “3…2…1…BLAST OFF!” There were rockets zooming all over the classroom and plenty of giggles as imaginations took flight.
