❄️🎨A splash of Colour in the Snow🎨❄️
Preschoolers took our painting outside this week and set up snow and ice in the tuff tray for the children to explore. Using brushes and watered-down paint, they added pops of colour to the white snow and were excited to see what happened when colours mixed together. They also noticed how the paint moved and changed when it touched the snow and icy water, which led to lots of curiosity and conversation.
The mild weather meant we didn’t need gloves, giving the children a chance to explore the snow and ice with their hands.
They noticed how it felt smooth, slippery, cold, and hard, and enjoyed scooping, touching, and painting as they explored.
The children worked side by side, shared brushes and colours, and talked about what they were doing. This experience supported creativity, hand strength, and early problem-solving, while also encouraging cooperation, expression, and a sense of belonging as we enjoyed learning together outdoors.

Merry Christmas from Francine, Walnut and Pistachio 🎄🎁❄️🌟🎅🏼

Sassy spiders loved decorating our class
Christmas tree this week! As we added ornaments and lights, the children shared little stories from home-who decorates their tree, what special ornaments they have, and the traditions their families enjoy. It was a beautiful way to build a sense of belonging in our classroom, as everyone’s experiences and celebrations came together to make our tree uniquely ours. The excitement, giggles, and pride on their faces made the moment extra magical!
