The Under 3 children learned about how “every child matters” and listened to stories about Indigenous culture and the significance of Orange Shirt Day. They helped to create a community bulletin board by making hand prints and colouring on orange t-shirt cut-outs. The children and staff throughout the centre wore orange shirts in solidarity on the commemorative day.

The children have been travelling to galaxies far, far away by reading books, colouring fact sheets, cutting on a line to space objects, singing songs, exploring sensory materials, and role playing being astronauts. What an “out of this world” learning experience!

We observe the life cycle of a butterfly from caterpillar, to chrysalis, to butterfly, right in our own classroom! While we watch for the butterflies to emerge, the children have the opportunity to do extended activities, such as a life cycle puzzle, a life cycle book with objects and matching cards, as well as drip art and prick a shape butterflies. Once all the butterflies emerge, we take them outside on a warm, sunny day and release them into nature. What an experience!
