We love learning about clothes!

Hello everyone,

First, I would like to give a warm welcome to four new friends who joined our class. Grayson, Sebastian, Stefan and Teagan, we are very happy to have you in LPP. You are a sweet addition to our lovely group.

We were happy to celebrate Alexander’s birthday. Alexander turned 4 and we wish him all the best! Thank you for the delicious cake, the beautiful balloons and the yummy fruit.

Over the last few weeks, we have been enjoying our new IPC unit - Clothes. We had a great ‘Entry Point’ for which all children came to school wearing the colours of their national flag or traditional clothes from their home countries. We had a grand parade with colours and songs from all over the world. We created a new corner in class full of clothes and costumes. The children love to try them on and play so nicely pretending they are doctors, princesses, pirates, firefighters, etc.

We love listening to new stories about clothes and we increase our vocabulary. We play games related to clothes such as sorting clothes by colour, size and shape. We learnt about our body parts and then opened a big box full of clothes; we worked together to decide which item to put on our heads, necks, hands, legs and feet. We learnt about summer and winter clothes and then created our own winter hats and mittens, using different art materials.

Every week we have a special day related to clothes. So far, we have had a ‘blue day’ and an ‘odd sock day'. Both days were a great success! On blue day, we all came to school dressed in blue, we had a sport lesson using only blue equipment, we made our own blue art and we tried to make the longest line using only blue clothes. The kids were happy to discover that our line was very long - we counted 25 steps! Well done everyone. Team work makes the dream work! On odd sock day all kids painted odd socks, we played a game in which our target was to find as many pairs of socks as we could, we pegged socks and counted them, it was a lovely day!

Have a lovely weekend everyone,

Miss Inbal.
