Westminster School Highlights - November 9, 2024

Our first week of this month started with a great vibe as our Little Explorers embraced new activities with curiosity and joy!

Makaton and Sensory Play

We introduced the Makaton sign for "hungry," with children practicing the gentle stomach tap to express it.

In sensory play, pouring and emptying exercises allowed little ones to develop coordination, while playdough fun encouraged creativity and fine motor skills.

Our featured touch-and-feel book, "Baby Touch and Feel: Wild Animals of South America," captivated tiny hands and minds with textures and vibrant animal imagery.

Yoga, dancing, and painting

Yoga sessions brought calm and focus through simple poses, and Lucy Sparkles led an engaging music session that had everyone singing and dancing.

To top it off, bubble painting lets the children explore color and movement in a unique, hands-on way.

Exploring Animals in the Forest

The toddlers embarked on adventures through storybooks about the rainforest and its amazing creatures.

They’ve been thrilled to learn about different animals, what they look like, and where they live.

Phonics Fun with the Letter "T"

In phonics, we focused on the letter "T."

The children practiced recognizing and pronouncing it through fun activities and games. We're so proud of their progress!

Math Adventures with 2D Shapes

Our young learners explored various 2D shapes, identifying circles, squares, triangles, and more!

They’re beginning to recognize these shapes in their environment, building foundational geometry skills.

Mandarin - Discovering the Galaxy

In Mandarin class, the children learned words related to the galaxy, like star, moon, earth, and sky.

It’s been an exciting journey exploring the wonders of space!

Extra-Curricular Fun

We had several enriching sessions this month:

Music Session with Ella Sparkle: The toddlers enjoyed singing, dancing, and making music!

Mindful Molly Yoga Session: They practiced mindfulness and yoga, learning to focus and relax.

Sports Session: Our active toddlers engaged in fun physical activities, building coordination and strength.

Our toddlers are truly thriving, enjoying every moment of learning and fun. Thank you for being part of their journey at our nursery.

What a week of learning, laughter, and discovery!
