The Little's - July Update

What an amazing start to summer we had in the Littles group! Our days were packed full of fun and playing outdoors that the month just seemed to fly by. Here are a few things we liked best about or busy days.

On Friday July 20 we had an outdoor challenge in which we spent the whole day outside. It did not start off supper warm and dry but by the end of the day it was beautiful out. We did a lot of fun activities outside like making a mural, races, face paint and building forts. At nap time as a treat we all had a sleepover in the gym!

Another great morning was when Mr. Ken came to visit us and did a lot of really cool magic tricks. If you ask the kids what he showed us they would all just tell you about his bunny named Mr. Harry Hoppdeani that they all got to pet.

The busiest day of the month was definitely our trip to Assiniboine Nature Play ground and Park. We spent all day at the park exploring. In the morning we played on the play ground, the giant hill and the sand river were our favorites. After our picnic lunch we decided to explore the rest of the park. We found a duck pond with lots of baby ducks and watched as, what the children are convinced was a horse but really just a large dog, swam in the fountain. We then made our way to the English Garden to see all the beautiful flowers. As we were exploring that area we found a forest and took turns guessing what lived in the forest. Lots of guesses were bears or lions. We were very careful as we walked in and the first thing we saw was a giant statue of a bear! Then after all the excitement of finding bears in the forest we went back to the nature playground and had a popsicle while we waited for the bus to take us back to daycare and give us a much needed nap.

The last super exciting thing we got to do in July was walk over to the RM of MacDonald’s fire hall and see all the firefighters and their equipment. When we first got to the fire hall Roberta volunteered to dress up like a fire fighter to show us what gear they have to wear to protect them. They also showed us the big tools they use to open car doors and the giant scissors to cut big things. We also got to spray the big hose and sit in the front of the fire truck and pretend to drive the trucks.
