Fun and Games

At playschool, we strive to find unique opportunities to offer our students. From field trips to things we make and do together, we try to make things as fun and educational as possible. Here are some photos of us having a great time doing lots of different things.

Discovering our neighbourhood...here the boys are listening to some music and checking out some of the videos in Little Portugal.

Nothing like a game of shark attack at union station to add some fun to our day!

Fun at the park, discovering, imagining, and taking a nice ride on the swings.

Music Class

We are fortunate enough to have music class with our great music teacher, Mr.Daniel every Thursday. The kids love to have him around, and they get to participate in fun activities which seem to encompass movement, dance, drama and of course singing! Here is some of the fun we had during our very first music lesson!

Great Reads!

We have been reading lots of great books throughout the month of September! Everything from Dr. Seuss to Robert Munsch to Todd Parr. We hope that our great books will continue to inspire our students to be imaginitive, creative, wonderous, caring, respectful and loving individuals. Book suggestions are always welcome!

Waste Free Lunches

As being environmentally conscious is a large cornerstone of the Trinity Playschool goals and curriculum, at our mini teacher meeting before the school year started, Leah and I thought it would be a great idea to attempt to have the kids bring in minimal waste - to waste free lunches. We can confidently say that with the month almost coming to a close, our kids and parents have done a fantastic job of being mindful of waste and garbage. Thank-you parents and thank-you kids! We are doing a great job and let's keep it up!

First Week Adventures

During our first week of playschool, a very exciting and interesting event took place- the workers strike at the Royal York Hotel. We headed down to show the students what a picket line looks like, and discuss with them why a strike may occur. We had a great adventure, taking the streetcar and then the subway down to the scene! The kids became excited and eager to see what was going on.

After arriving on the scene, we explained to the kids that the workers were striking because they were unhappy with their working/contract conditions and were sending a message to their bosses! The kids really enjoyed it and observed from a distance the picket line. Afterwards, we settled in a cozy spot to read Peter the Rabbit, and then ventured over to have some fun in Union Station. All in all, a great day, and an interesting way to mark the end of a great first week!
