Flying Start @ Cornwall College Explore The Ocean!

/in
The toddler room at Cornwall College has still really been enjoying their “commotion in the ocean” story and the underwater theme that comes along with it!
We have been creative, using our fingers to peel, paint, stick and make!
We have gotten messy with water, shaving foam, sand, playdough, cereals, pasta, and our favourite “Gloop”!
And we are continuously learning about different sea life, how to keep our beaches clean, and how to keep ourselves safe in the sun and in water!

Flying Start @ Cornwall College Do The Animal Boogie!

/in
The toddler room has been continuing to look at jungle animals. It’s been such a fun topic!
Our focus story, “The Animal Boogie,” created an amazing opportunity for us to create a puppet show with a variety of different animal puppets as well as musical instruments! We also had a jungle messy play session. We enjoyed getting our animals mucky with shaving foam, oats, and cocoa powder and then cleaning them off. Our jungle gloop was very popular, all of our animals got stuck! Our sensory bags and tray were also very fun; we felt different textures and fed the animals!

Flying Start @ Cornwall College Are Planting And Growing!

Our upper preschool children have really enjoyed taking part in planting activities, helping to develop their fine motor skills through scooping soil, planting seeds, and watering plants.
The children have been learning about different fruits and vegetables, where they grow, and how we can grow them ourselves.
They explored what plants need to grow and enjoyed caring for their own plants while building confidence, independence, and an understanding of healthy eating.

We have been bringing nature inside, collecting beautiful natural resources and using them in our art.
This has tied in wonderfully with our Farm Animal theme as we explore different animals habitats, food and families! We have been utilising our wide range of sensory resources to make inviting opportunities for our little ones. We even made our own Farmers Market in the garden!
