School Age Room- August 2017


Our play space was under renovation this month and we are all very excited for it to be done. Since we were unable to use our backyard, we made many trips to the Rec Centre, Ashland Park, the high school soccer field.  We also went on many walks through our beautiful town.

During Circus Week we had our faces painted like animals! We all tie dyed something white that we brought from home, and the outcome very colorful. The school agers created their own circus in the gym, involving a ring toss, a maze, acrobats on the mats and many other activities. We also all enjoyed some popcorn! Mr. Ken came and visited our Centre during Circus Week; he showed us many neat tricks that left us wondering how magicians do it!

We also traveled around the world to Norway, Africa, Egypt, and Ireland! We made Egyptian necklaces, African masks, and we talk about the different cultures in for each of the places. Kurrent Motion came and we had a blast with hula hoops! She taught us some tricks and did a show for us! She was so cool!

During Animal Planet week we started constructing our own bird houses. Between visits from Petland and Prairie Exotic, we were hard at work nailing, sanding and painting our houses.

Our last week of summer was Spirit Week and it was so much fun! We dressed up as princesses and super heroes and were busy playing all day! We sat down for an iced tea party with popcorn at the end of the day! On decade’s day, we dressed from the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s and had root beer floats. We ended the day with a dance party! Toga day was on Wednesday; we dressed up in our togas and made leaf crowns! Thursday was Halloween Day; we went trick or treating in our daycare centre and had Bricks 4 Kidz join us.  Everyone was so involved and really enjoyed all of the Lego that was brought to us. To end our week, Spiderman stopped by the school Age room for a visit. We were all so excited and shocked that we were left speechless.  We finished off the week with a Pizza Party. 

The children are very excited to be back at school, and we are thrilled to see them learn and develop during the school year.

Giving your baby a bath

Time it right: Don't give your baby a real bath until the umbilical cord stump falls off. Sponge baths are okay until then. Gather supplies: A baby tub (or just the sink), a washcloth or two, cotton balls (optional), baby soap, a towel, and a fresh diaper. Get ready: Heat the room if it's chilly, and run an inch or two of warm water (about 90 degrees Fahrenheit) into the tub or sink Take the plunge: Undress your baby and gradually place her in the tub on her back. Support her head and neck with one hand. Keep her comfy: Gently pour cupfuls of water over your baby's body throughout the bath so she doesn't get cold. Clean all over: Use a washcloth, cotton balls, or your hand to gently wash your baby's face and body. No need to scrub or use much soap. Read More

Why Healthy Teeth Are Important

How does taking care of your teeth help with all those things? Taking care of your teeth helps prevent plaque , which is a clear film of bacteria sticks to your teeth. After you eat, bacteria go crazy over the sugar on your teeth, like ants at a picnic. The bacteria break it down into acids that eat away tooth enamel, causing holes called cavities. Plaque also causes gingivitis (say: jin-juh-vi-tis), which is gum disease that can make your gums red, swollen, and sore. Your gums are those soft pink tissues in your mouth that hold your teeth in place. If you don't take care of your teeth, cavities and unhealthy gums will make your mouth very, very sore. Eating meals will be difficult. And you won't feel like smiling so much. Before Toothpaste Was Invented We're lucky that we know so much now about taking care of our teeth. Long ago, as people got older, their teeth would rot away and be very painful. To get rid of a toothache, they had their teeth pulled out. Finally people ...
