Happenings In Four Year Old Kinder

YOGA.

Starting the session with some Yoga has been popular with the children. We have tried several different poses with the "Cat " pose being popular. This is an individual pose. "The snake" pose has been done on Friday mornings , which involves the group as all the children  rest on each other. This pose will be introduced to the larger groups. This pose assists children to lie still and to be aware of their breathing. It is also respectful as the children thank each other for allowing their friends to rest on them. Children can choose not to participate if they are not feeling comfortable about it.




GARDENING.

An assortment of flower and vegetable seedlings were purchased to plant in our planter boxes adjacent to the verandah. The children helped to prepare the soil , plant the seedlings and water them. The children will learn that the plants need ongoing care and the children will water the plants and hopefully be able to eat the produce!
(the children have been picking and eating cherry tomatoes which were planted last year).  New plants will be added to our raised garden beds and the children will assist to make a new scarecrow. We invite you to participate in our gardening project!
