It’s a fact that children love very much, animals. That’s why in the last few weeks, in our kindergarten we studied along kids more about animals. Thursday, February 21, two medium- sized groups went out to the Erasmus corner for making an evaluation of the thematic project “In the wonderful world of animals”. The kids expressed their joy by playing, singing and exposing their work.
“The Smurfs” group carried out a craft activity in which they realized bear masks. So they became little “Dancing bears” for one day.
“The Butterflies” group realized a didactic activity named “The animals’ farm” in which they made lots of animals from grandma’s yard with shelter, food for the animals and for their babies. All teaching materials have been made of materials gathered from nature and also recyclable materials.
Also the youngest came, the “Dwarves” group came out enthusiastically in the yard of the kindergarten. We sang, we played and we laughed in the mild sun rays of a beautiful day at the end of February. This week, the children from the small group learned new and interesting information about changes and processes that occur in nature at the end of winter. So, they enjoyed the opportunity of discovering new colours, smells and textures in the middle of nature. We took outside paper and cardboard which the little ones used in order to create colourful flowers and butterflies. The children were very interested in exploring and discovering details from nature and participated with all their hearts at our activities. Dreaming at the most vitalizing season of all (spring) we gathered afterwards in our classroom in order to share with the others our thoughts and impressions and to play a cheerful motion game.
