Keep those lunch boxes healthy!
Please no chips, chocolate, cake or shop-bought muffins or cake for lunch- keep these as treats or "sometimes" foods as they are high in sugar or saturated fat. Healthy options which are popular with the preschoolers are sandwiches, cereal, rice cakes, home-made pizza, pancakes, cheese and crackers, yoghurt, fresh fruit, popcorn (white),
Fun with Faces
A Day in Pk 3.1
Sorting our Feelings
We sorted real photograph by whether the person looked happy or sad, and we talked about our own feelings. This activity teaches kids to identify, interpret, and talk about their feelings.
Shaving cream play
Children loved to play and got a little bit messy this week!
We did this activity that encouraged imaginative natural play and fine motor control. Kids loved touching and moving the shaving cream. They used their fingers to write into the cream and created patterns.
Shaving cream is loads of fun to play with - and it's completely safe too.
Look at these faces!!
Conscious Discipline
A comprehensive emotional intelligence and classroom management program consisting of Brain Smart strategies for responding rather than reacting to life events. Through responding, conflict moments are transformed into cooperative learning opportunities.
WE NEED YOUR HELP AT HOME!
Encouragement is needed each step of the way. These are helpful phrases to use with your child:
1. “Look at you! You are doing it. You did it. You ______. Good for you! Way to go!”
2. “You are so close. You can handle this! There you go.”
3. “Breathe with me! You can handle this! You got it. Good for you.”
4. “As hard as this is to shift your focus, as hard as this is handle your frustration, you can do it.”
5. “You are safe. You can handle this. You are too precious to me to hurt yourself or anyone else.”
