I have not been feeling great this week. Didn't do much. There has been few nice warm days and we went out to the park, and did some wild life observations. M. is really into observing animals, insects and flowers. We looked at snails, ladybirds, warms and daffodils in the local parks

.


GARDENING

Also our hyacits have finally bloomed, after all the care we gave them. The tulips have still a long way to go, but we will wait.






Now I need to develop the photos of all the stages from bulb to flower and display them on a poster so that M. can remember the life cycle of a flower.

5 SENSES

I managed to put together the touch section of the 5 senses laboratory.
For smooth I used a rubber glove; for rough a scrabber sponge; for soft a dust cloth; for the uneven surface a bumpy sponge. I glued each material on a piece of cartoon board.

the seasons

On Thursday we had a very busy and tiring day. On your way back home we stopped in the next door park for some energy realising activity for M., since all morning she was restrained on the buggy. She started picking up small branches from the floor and throwing them in the air as if to copy the natural process of branches following in Autumn.


I got an idea from this, and I picked up some branches and leaves myself to take home. We also found a feather and took it home with us.


At home we drew a tree on a paper and then glued the branches, leaves and feather on it.





Next time we will go to the park we will pick up some other leaves and then stick them on the feet of the tree (Autumn) and then stick on them some cotton wool pretending is snow (winter). Later in the year as spring and then summer will arrive, we will change our tree according to what we will find in and around the tree.
