I had a opportunity to be in the Petals group today. As I entered in, i saw all the children very enthusiastically "signing" their names on a birthday card. We were celebrating one of our classmate's birthday today. We sang him a song and he gave us chocolates.Then having settled on our favorite shape in a nice cozy circle, we enjoyed "show and tell". We showed our pillows to all and even spoke about it. Some of us even demonstrated how we use the pillow to sleep. Some of us had not brought our pillows for show and tell and were feeling bad about it. We have now decided to remind our parents to send our show and tell objects every Tuesday.
Today we started our activity by telling each other what we remembered from the movie we saw yesterday. Having spread newspapers, we took a few crayons and were all set to colour some sea creatures like the octopus, sea horse, fish and a star fish. One of us kept saying," i cannot do it", but with some help and encouragement, was able to make lines on the fish. Some of us even made circles on the starfish. Then having folded the newspapers nicely, we enjoyed going to the sea. We jumped, swam, and waded in the sea water with some nice music. We also learnt a fish song and really enjoyed reciting it. We then rowed our boats merrily down the stream and also enjoyed drenching ourselves in the rain which was falling in curves and lines. That sure tired us out and so we all quietly lied down to rest a while.
Our friends from the other classes came in to wish our friend on his birthday and we even danced his special dance. That really made him feel happy on his birthday.
