Pre Nursery Newsletter – Volume 8

Dear Families,

This week we had loads of fun doing fun activities on

balloon. We painted balloons at the easel. Everyone

loved making their balloons as colourful as the ones

we saw in the pictures! Some made striped balloons,

others chose one colour, and some had flowers too!

It’s great to see their creativity and imagination soar!

We also observed that while we blow air into the

balloon it starts becoming big, but when too much of

air is blown into it, it ‘pops’ and burst into pieces.

Two new words in our vocabulary this week are ‘ blow’

and ‘pop’. We enjoyed singing action songs like “a red

balloon’ ‘Am a little balloon’. We also counted balloons

during numeracy but were more interested in blowing

them and bursting to listen to the ‘pop’ sound.

We engaged ourselves in art activities during the

week by decorating our balloons. Sponge painting and

dabbing.

I am so proud of your children! They have made a

wonderful transition from home to school. Our

classroom is full of children who come in ready to play

and learn each day! They are truly awesome.

that when we rub a balloon on our head and place it

above bits of paper it gets stuck to the balloon.
