Valentines Day Fun

The preschool and pre-kindergarten classes had fun making Valentine's Day cards for their parents this week. Here is a photo of some of their creations.

The Sense of Sound

The preschool students spent this week playing different instruments as part of their senses unit. Here are some photos of the students playing and listening to the sound of the different instruments.

Students took turns playing the different instruments while the other students had to try and guess which instrument was being played.

Great to see all of the smiling faces. Clearly the students were learning and having fun at the same time.

Free Play at The Beehive

Here are a few photos of the Beehive students enjoying free play time across grades. The students are able to choose any activity that they want to be engaged in and they are clearly having fun.

Tickle Touch

Today the preschool students worked on their sense of touch with a fun lesson called Tickle Touch. Some children removed their socks and shoes. They tickled each others feet, hands and arms and students had to predict which body part was the most ticklish. To further this lesson, the words of the day were tickle, touch, skin and sensation and fit in nicely with the thematic unit they are studying about their five senses.

The Snowman and Penguin Song

The preschoolers have been busy singing songs about winter as part of their thematic unit on snow. The above collage is of them singing and acting out the following song sang to the tune of I'm a Little Tea Pot. Below you will find the lyrics.

Two Fat snowmen

Met in a lane

Bowed down politely

And bowed down again.

How do you do

How do you do

And how do you do again.

I’m a little penguin

Black and white

Stout and Fluffy

What a sight

I can’t fly

But I like to swim

So I waddle to the water

And dive right in.

Our Senses Unit

As part of their sensory unit preschool and pre-k students worked with a coconut to reinforce what they have been learning. First they looked at the coconut which reinforced their sense of sight.


Then they passed the coconut around to feel it both inside and out which reinforced their sense of touch. Next, the classmates shook the coconut to hear the sound of the milk inside which reinforced their sense of hearing.


Then Ms. Nadine cracked the shell open and the students were able to smell the coconut which reinforced their sense of smell.


Lastly, each student was able to eat a slice of the coconut that reinforced their sense of taste. What a great hands on lesson to teach students about their senses.

Birthday Celebrations Continue at the Beehive

This past week, two more students shared their birthday with their Beehive school community. Happy 4th Birthday to Robyn and Happy 5th Birthday to Emma! We hope your special day was as special as the two of you are!
