VIIKKOKIRJE – WEEKLY LETTER 32/2021

MIDIT: Midien viikkoon on kuulunut paljon iloisia leikkejä. Erityisesti koti-, eläinlääkäri-,poliisi-, majaleikit ovat olleet Midien mieleen. Myös palapelit, pöytäpelit ja rakentelulelut ovat olleet ahkerassa käytössä. Maanantaina Midit maalasivat hienot kädenjälki-maalaukset, jotka koristavat yhdessä nyt seinäämme. Tiistaina Midit tekivät retken Kannupuistoon. Puistossa leikkiminen ja hämähäkkikeinussa keinuminen oli hauskaa Midien mielestä. Keskiviikkona jumppasimme ulkona. Ensin oli yhteinen jumppa koko talon kesken, jossa Mestari-Ankat ohjeistivat muita jumppakorttien avulla. Tämän jälkeen Midit leikkivät peiliä, kuka pelkää mustekalaa ja värileikkiä. Aamupiireissä olemme keskustelleet tunteista. Olemme käyneet läpi tunnekortteja ja mitä tunteita tänään on ollut. Midit ovat olleet kiinnostuneita kirjoista ja olemmekin lukeneet niitä paljon. Kirjoista on syntynyt hyviä keskusteluita ystävyydestä ja tunteista. Perjantaina juhlimme myös yhden Midin syntymäpäivää, mikä on aina niin mukavaa!

 

Our first English Midi Club went very well on Thursday! The curious and capable Midis were very eager to learn new things in English by interacting in a fun way and singing together. We enjoyed learning the new songs of “Good Morning Children! How Are You?”, “If You Are Happy and You Know It” and the Lunchtime Rhyme. We also reinforced and expanded our vocabulary (Happy, Sad, Hungry, Thirsty, Greetings etc.). On Friday’s Common Circle Time with the Maxis, we enjoyed singing and dancing together once more.

 

MAXIT: We enjoyed another fun and educative week together with the Midis! All the Preschoolers and Viskaris were back to the Day Care this week, and for sure we shared a lot of warm hugs and lovely memories of summer holidays among us while busy playing both outdoors in the beautiful summer weather and indoors with abundant and various toys and games! On Monday Tove Jasson Day, the Day of Finnish Art, we little artists printed colourful handprints as the new display for the classroom. We also started reading the classic book “The World of Moomin Valley”, and so far we have completed the first chapter. On our Literacy Day, we read together the biography of Helen Keller’s from the amazing book “Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls” for empowering certainly both girls and boys. In addition, we watched a short animation video of the classic story “The Little Prince”. Both of the touching stories told us that we can always find the most beautiful things with our loving hearts even though we might not be able to see or hear them, and friends and friendship are so precious that we should always appreciate them! We are huge fans of cheerful music, singing and dancing, and we enjoyed learning the new songs of “Good Morning Children! How Are You?” “The Weather Song”, “If You Are Happy and You Know It” and “My Happy Song” etc. whenever we had time and on Friday’s Common Circle Time with the Midis as well.

 

The Preschoolers started our long-expected first Preschool Day on Wednesday by sharing wonderful memories of summer holidays, going through learning materials for the Preschoolers and the Viskars, and discussing what each of us would like to learn and do in the following year together with the curious Viskaris. We are able to make lots of decisions for our own learning and development and the more the merrier! Besides learning in English language the same pedagogical contents that we learnt with Titti in Finnish language, we also tried fun tasks from the Oppi &ilo’s set “Eskarilainen Monipuolisen hauskaa puuhaa”.

 

The Viskari Club also started this week on Thursday! While playing a group game by tossing a soft cube in turns, we reinforced and expanded our vocabulary of Vehicles (Car, Train, Engine, Airplane, Boat, Ship, Motorcycle, Helicopter etc.) and Family Members (Sister, Brother, Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa etc.) and practised categorising together!
