winter warmups

we are practicing warm ups to music each morning. This has proved to be loads of fun,reflected by increased participation by all the little learners. These exercises are valuable in terms of large physical development and co-ordination, as well as improving vital thinking and listening skills.
We are still absorbed in the fun and color of the soccer world up. We are embroidering on the concepts of unity and hospitality, demonstrating by movement and song.
We are using the colors of the south african flag to increase knowledge and awareness of colors. We are using lateral thinking, peeking into our imaginary gardens and vegetable patch, linking colors with fruit and veg we eat.
watch this space for pics.
ps we became Picassos on the outside easle , applying creativity and mixing the colors we are learning about , on the outdoor easle.
Colors are: red, blue, white, green , yellow and black.
Please reinforce this at the table , shopping or meal preparation.This communication makes for most valuable in put and development.
