This week we had a very special visitor…. A fire fighter! Fire Fighter Luigi came to talk to us about fire safety! She showed us a video and put on his protective fire-fighting gear so that we know the fire fighters are not scary and are there to help us!

The Nitzanim class focused all about the letter F this week and used fine gross motor skills to spray water on to a 'fire'. For creative arts some of the children coloured firefighter hats, some painted with fish, others coloured firetruck pictures, some glued and glittered paper plates to make rainbow fish, and we all glued parts of a flower on to paper. The sensory bin was filled with frogs on lily pads. It also had fishies in blue rocks that the kids loved. Our block centre was a big fish pond! For fine gross motor they peeled stickers and placed them in circles on a fish. The drama centre was a beautiful flower market!!  They used fine gross motor skills to put flowers through strainer holes, and peeled flower stickers to place inside a letter F. The children also loved the light table which had flower petals and flowers. 

 The Perachim class focused on transportation and the letter E this week. The students made their own fire trucks using different materials, and finger-painted fire! They also did a sorting assignment called 'Hot or Not Hot' in which the students had to divide items into either category after learning if certain things are hot. The students made a very elaborate and impressive train track by working together as a team, and they also did art by driving cars through paint. They learned about the letter E with mat man, and everyone got to build their own letter E’s with blocks. For sensory they enjoyed driving cars around in shaving cream, and playing with the toy trains, planes and cars. For fine motor they worked on the letter E page in their binders and enjoyed learning about elephants while making elephant masks and guessing who is behind the mask.
