Our first painting for the year used the colours Lemon Light and Golden Bright, in which the children experienced the expansiveness of yellow, filled with sunlight. Now for our autumn experience we are exploring the warmer tones of carmine, vermillion and golden. Painting has therapeutic effects, regulating the children’s rhythmic systems and allowing them to breathe in harmony, when they can immerse themselves fully into the painting experience.

It is wonderful to see how the children are slowly getting more familiar with each other, making connections and building friendships. Sharing a swing in the hammock is a lot of fun!

Taking care of our guinea pigs, feeding them, holding and cuddling them is such a wonderful way of learning to love and respect non-human beings.

It amazes me to see the little ones already imitating and re-enacting our puppet story; with great sincerity they are replaying and digesting the content of the story through making it their own.

We love our food at Playgroup and making Crunchy Buns is the highlight of our morning. The children are encouraged to help with the daily tasks and carrying the basket for our Juicy Fruit time is a team effort. We always have some happy helpers to serve the fruit to each other. These are all wonderful learning experiences that strengthen the children's will forces and build their thinking capacity.

So much joy in learning!

Playgroup Coordinator
