Welcome back to Lotti and Maxim!

We are so happy that we are all back together at school. It is great to see all your familiar faces, but we have some new friends at school too. We are so thrilled to make new friends at school! 

 

During the first week of school we have been getting to know one another better. We have been playing name games and games that teach us about one another. All of the children are very interested about one another and each other's personal interests. 

Also, this week we have been focusing on our listening skills and how to follow instructions when playing games. To practice our listening skills we played an interactive game where a child was blindfolded and had to listen to the sound of another child's voice saying, "Who am I?" Then the child that was blindfolded had to state who the child speaking was. To learn how to follow instructions we played "Simon says." During the game boys and girls had to listen to instructions, and then had to complete an action that was called out by "Simon." Example, "Simon says touch your toes." All children would then touch their toes. Afterwards the older girls in the group took part in giving instructions to the younger children. While taking part in both games the children were very engaged and excited to learn new things. 

On Friday, we have gym and now we will be practicing yoga! The boys and girls are very excited to move their bodies around.

On Kata's Lesson the topic was " My Body" in the past two weeks. The children got familiar with their body parts through many different songs. At the end of the two weeks the children made paper plate faces as a closing part of the topic.

 

They are going to learn action songs next week.

 

We had a wonderful second week back together with everyone and are looking forward to an amazing year.
