This week our new country to explore was… MEXICO 🇲🇽
🇲🇽 We decorated our own cactus ( and learnt that more than one cactus is called cacti) and looked at different locations and conditions they grew in.
🇲🇽 We listened to some Mexican music whilst shaking Maracas and dancing in our very own fiesta party!
🇲🇽 We made our own piñata which Mexican families use as a symbol of joy and unity and is an important tradition, we took it in turns to hit it to see what we could find inside!
🇲🇽 Lastly we had tacos for tea! The children helped to prepare all the salad ingredients ready for their tea and done a great job trying to wrap their soft shells like a traditional looking taco!
Welcome to Italy 🇮🇹
Preschool have loved choosing a different country every week to explore. This weeks chosen country was Italy and activities for Italy consisted of…
🇮🇹 Pizza making! The children were independent with spreading the tomato puree and chopping and adding their own toppings. They also ate their pizza’s for tea!
🇮🇹 carving their own pasta shapes using the playdough. As well as pizza, Italians love making fresh pasta!
🇮🇹 volcanoes! Preschool learnt that in Italy they have active volcanoes. We saw a short clip of a real life volcano erupting and the children painted their own, we had lots of discussions with new key words such as lava, volcanic gases and ash.
🇮🇹 luxury cars - Italy is known for their choice of luxury cars such as Ferrari and Lamborghini. We decided to design our own luxury cars using marking making tools then went on to do some junk modelling!
Lastly the children learnt about the Leaning tower of Pisa and learnt some basic Italian words such as Ciao and Buongiorno! (Hello and good morning) What a fun day!
