VIIKKOKIRJE – WEEKLY LETTER 39/2022

Mini-Midis:
We finally welcome the autumn season, and the kids learned the new season song Autumn leaves are falling. We learned the autumn colors in Finnish and English. We made a nice autumn tree in a sensory painting activity which the kids love as they explore their sense of touch, eye and hands coordination. We witnessed the magical fall foliage, leaves falling from the tree as we had our autumn walk in the Thurmanin park. The kids also tried jumping up and down in the trampoline park. We had our outdoor muskari, the kids enjoyed singing and playing instrument surrounded by nature and with the sound of the humming birds. Time to put on our rain gears and boots. The minis-midis been learning what are the essential clothes to put on this season. They enjoyed playing in the rain and jumping on some water puddles. We had a bus trip to the nearby Pitkänotko park and we explore its surroundings. We have now been playing in a small group and practicing more of our social skills, practicing waiting turns and sharing toys to others.
