Being busy with many ideas definitely sounds very summer! Wr capture the vibrant energy of our curiosity in the warmer months. Our imagination buzzing like bees, chasing ideas like butterflies, one thought leading to the next like hopscotch squares under the sun.

In this golden season, learning does not paise. It simply takes different shapes. It hides in the splash of water experiment. Nota, works through her strategic way, figures out how to make the water flows although the upward cycles offers challenges initially.

We dive into a wonderful exploration of birds and nature! Our journey begins when Emily brings in a fascinating real bird's nest with a tiny egg inside. Everyone excitedly gather around to carefully observe and discuss the features of a real nest.

Kai observes that the nest feels like a feather.

Kai thoughtfully mentioned we might need an incubator for the egg since we don't have the mommy bird to "warm up the egg."

Ryan added that the nest feels soft and he is amazed by it.

Kai initially thought the egg was cracking but soon realized the black dots were simply part of its natural colouration. 

It sparked curiosity, inspiring us to create our very own nests and eggs using air-dry clay. It was delightful to see how each friend uniquely crafted their nests, shaping them differently and proudly sharing their creations.

Emily was showing us the nest that she is making.

Kai is proudly showing us the tiny eggs he made to put on his nest.

Kalyan used a different technique for his nest, carefully creating dots using the rounded end of a carver tool, adding unique texture and detail.

Tvisha proudly showed us her nest, explaining that she made it gently. 

Nora thoughtfully showed her egg and explained, "These are the walls to protect the baby egg."

To get active and understand birds even better, we danced joyfully to the song "Flap Your Wings Together" from Treetop Family. Through the movements, we learned about the gradual way baby birds learn to fly. 

Emily sweetly shared how she cuddles and snuggles with her mom at home because we were reading a book where the birds were also snuggling with each other, which warmed all our hearts.

We continued our creative exploration using loose materials such as feathers, balls, dried plants, shredded paper, and pipe cleaners. Each friend imaginatively constructed birds, nests, and bird food. Their creations showcased impressive creativity and a clear understanding of birds' natural habitats.

We also enjoyed some short yoga sessions together after lunch, which helped us feel calm and relaxed, ready for the rest of our day! 

We also ventured outside to our nearby park. Friends enthusiastically played "Red Light, Green Light," demonstrating their growing understanding of following instructions to stop and go safely.

The big tree in the park drew our attention as we observed its strength and marveled at how beautifully the sunlight filtered through its leaves. 

 Luka enjoyed navigating the way to the park by eagerly and safely driving the toy car.

 Kai bravely attempted climbing using a rope we carefully secured around one of the sturdy branches
