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!

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!

I’m so proud of each and every one of them; it’s incredible to see how they’re growing in confidence, learning to listen, and showing such joy in every activity. This week was full of magical little moments, and I couldn’t be happier to watch these little ones explore, learn, and play with such enthusiasm!

When it came time to cook, they really surprised me with their independence! Each Pup spread their own tomato paste, sprinkled cheese with enthusiasm, and even carefully cut up their little Viennas. They were so focused and determined—it was heartwarming to watch.
