This week, our classroom was buzzing with excitement as the children dove into a brand-new geographical theme—Black History Month.
Black History Month
Children celebrating the month of black history month through a range of engaging, activities that honour the contributions and history of African Americans.
The children have engaged in creating an art project inspired by an important figure, Martin Luther King.
We spoke about the important quotes that link to some of the roles in values such as kindness, fairness, and respect for others.
We spoke about the differences while promoting a sense of community and cooperation in their early learning environment.
Babies and toddlers celebrated the month of black history month by learning about the African American inventor of the traffic lights Garret Morgan.
They created their own traffic lights using the colours of the traffic light card.
They engaged by using their cutting process and sticking the colours inside the circles to build on their creativity skills and improving their understanding the world.
Native American Buildings
Preschoolers dived into looking at how Native Americans lived and how they live now.
During circle time, we had a discussion and looked at the different buildings, homes of the Native Americans.
We then went on to make our own replicas of traditional Native American homes, such as teepees or wigwams, using simple materials like sticks, paper, and fabric.
We spoke about and explained how the Native Americans used natural resources for their homes and lived close to the land.
Our partnership with Little Village
As an early years education and childcare institution, we put great value on helping children in need.
This is why we partnered with Little Village, an organization that helps babies and young children living in poverty all across London.
Want to help us give them the things they need? Donate to Little Village below!
Building our own transportations
The babies and toddlers engaged in creating their own large scale painting of a train using their own imagination and creativity.
They did this with sponges, which supports children’s self-expression, sensory exploration, and develops language development.t
We have been using a variety of building blocks to explore our babies and toddlers physical development.
This has built the babies and toddlers imagination to engage in role playing being on the train and driving the bus.
