Stories this week...

This week we are focusing on position words with the story/song "Going on A Bear Hunt". This is a fun song to sing with your children at home. You can also practice going over, under, around and through different places in your house.

We are following up on Brown Bear, Brown Bear with the book Polar Bear, Polar Bear. Enjoy this with your child- do some animal walks and noises!

Bears, Bears Everywhere!

This month in EDC we are learning all about bears and animals. We have been reading Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See? by Bill Martin Jr. & Eric Carle. If you read this story with your child, play a game!

Can you pretend to be an animal? Show me what a red bird does (flap, flap). Can you be a duck? (waddle, waddle). Have fun, and enjoy the story. 

Real bears are awesome too! Check out this video of a mama and her baby polar bears waking up from hibernating. 

Hallowe'en in EDC!

This week in EDC, we have been doing spoooky Hallowe'en activities!

We played the 'Spider on the Floor' game, and read books like The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything (YouTube link) and Go Away, Big Green Monster! (YouTube link).

We made pumpkins that show how we are feeling.

On Thursday, we are going to dress up for our school Halloween Parade!

Here are some of our favourite Hallowe'en songs to sing together at home:

Who took the candy from the trick or treat bag? Stop the video to ask your child!

Can you make a happy face? Practice doing different 'feeling faces' together.

Five Little Pumpkins. Sing the song and do some spooky actions!

Welcome!

Welcome to our brand new EDC blog! We are so excited to share with you the fun and interesting things we are learning at school. There will be lots of great ideas for things to try at home for language, learning and family fun.

Looking forward to the rest of the year!
