There was lots going on at Little Kings & Queens this week, have a look at what the children got up to.
Outdoor fun
Some outdoor fun with the Ruby & Emerald Rooms. Outdoor play is great for encouraging children’s creativity. Away from the constraints and confinement of indoor play, being outside children’s imaginations are often stimulated by the objects around them and they quickly tap into their creativity.
Maths
The Ruby room spent some time in the maths corner learning their numbers! Basic math and number concepts utilised in a preschool classroom set the foundation for learning more advanced math concepts. Early exposure to math and number activities will promote your child’s comfort with these skills. Also, additional opportunities to practice these skills will increase your child’s confidence when working with math and number concepts.
Lots of Activities
Lots of different activities going on in the Ruby & Emerald Rooms. Like most things in life, balance is the key.
