Since schools are still closed, I have created this PPT. to share with the parents some ideas to encourage them to keep doing some crafts and educational activities at home.
2. SUMMERFUN
Children are born to
be explorers, and it
is in their nature to
love the experience
of sights, scents,
sounds and
textures of the
outdoors.
The topic about
summer season is
a continuation of
the previous topic
about spring, as it
gives us the
opportunity to
nurture our children
into loving and
appreciating the
natural
environment.
We have an
opportunity to
remind our kids
about the
importance of
keeping our
beaches clean and
how to protect the
creatures that live
in our sea.
3. WEATHER OBSERVATION
At times, we do observe some
weather changes during the
summer months. It can be a
very beautiful day, with a blue
sky and full sunshine. But
sometimes, it gets really
cloudy.
Along the weather observation,
we can also reflect on our
moods – how does the weather
affects us with how we feel?
For example, when the weather
is really dull and gloomy, Ms.
Christina experiences
headaches, feels really weak
and sad. But the sky is blue
and the sun is shining bright,
Ms. Christina feels energetic
and happy.
HOW DO YOU FEEL?
Your child
can create
his / her own
web chart,
representing
his / her own
ideas about
the weather.
4. WATER SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS
Walking Water
You'll need six containers of water for this one:
three with clear water, one with red food
coloring, one with blue coloring, and one with
yellow coloring. Arrange them in a circle,
alternating colored and clear containers, and
make bridges between the containers with
folded paper towels. Your kids will be amazed
to see the colored water "walk" over the
bridges and into the clear containers, mixing
colors, and giving them a first-hand look at the
magic of capillarity.
5. WATER SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS
Instant Ice
Give your little scientists the powers of Elsa!
Water can turn into ice as it's being poured.
The secret is to chill water in the freezer until
it's almost frozen, then pour it over ice placed
on an overturned ceramic bowl. Kids can see
the transformation between the states of
matter, and also how ice crystals are formed.

10. To create a sensory bin is:
a big tub, tray or container OR
you can you use the bath tub
time
patience
necessary resources that you
can find around the house –
related to a topic.
The aim of sensory bins is not to
keep the children busy. But to help
them grow and develop. Like adults,
children learn best through hands
on experiences. Children learn
more when they are provided with
opportunities, to actively use their
senses as they explore their world
through sensory play. This is crucial
for brain development.
