Week 7 - Adventure Time

 This week, the children had a blast with hands-on pumpkin activities! We scooped out pumpkin insides, discovering and talking about seeds. The children sorted the pumpkins by size and colour. The children practiced fine motor skills by hammering golf tees into pumpkins, and strengthening their little fingers while having fun. We even made “pumpkin potions” with water, herbs, flowers and leaves, learning about capacity as we poured and mixed. 🎃
