Ducklings: Earth Day Celebration (Planting Trees)

Last Friday we had celebrated the Earth Day by planting trees in front of the preschool with all the groups. First the flamingos group performed an Earth song. Then the ducklings children were guided by the teachers to start planting first. We got a green pear tree and a bag of soil. We also got help from NCC gardeners with the tree planting! The children were very focused during the planting and they tried to add more soil around the tree. At last we stand around the tree and took a group picture! We also had pretend play in the drama room. The children were dressing up as spiderman, cowboy as well as different kinds of animals.

We have been working on the following Lpfö goals:

To develop their ability to coordinate, awareness of their own body, as well as an understanding of the importance of maintaining their own health and well-being.

To develop their creative abilities and the ability to convey impressions, thoughts and experiences in many different forms of expression, such as play, pictures, song and music, dance and drama.

Ducklings Pretending to be Tigers near the Forest

Last Friday we went outing in the forest our backyard. We pretended to be little tigers by wearing the tiger masks we made on Monday and imitating the sound “Roar….” of tigers. We ate the rice cakes and fruit near the backyard and came back earlier to the preschool to prevent the harmness from the solar eclipse. However, all the children were having fun exploring the nature as little tigers!
