On Monday Ann and I took Oly, Max, Maia, Acacia, Theo, Charlotteand Mania for a walk to the fruit shop and to ANIMALZ. We visited the fruit shop first to buy bananas to make a banana cake! Max helped me count the money out and pay the lady at the counter. He received our change and listened carefully as she counted it back.
We practiced and empahsied the appropriate road rules with children. We stopped and looked both ways at the intersections. The children listened well and waited for the 'green flashing man' on the lights.
Mania and Acacia really enjoyed looking at the huge fish tanks at ANIMALZ! They watched as the fish swam around and Mania noticed the big yellow fish and called out to show her other friends.
We also stopped in at the park on the way back to KIDSPACE for some afternoon tea and a run around. Charlotte had so much fun running around on the grass and leaves! We had a game of 'Duck, Duck, Goose'. The children were listening, participating, using their bodies to run and move, and simply enjoying the fresh air and nature! The children got invlvoed in 'the big running race' where they extended all parts of the bodies physically, a great exercise and active movement!
