Friends like to eat and cook together

-->

  The Friendship unit is coming to an end. What a lovely exploration, full of inquiries and excitement! Our latest stop on the map "Things that friends want to do" was "Friends like to eat and cook together". We read the story "The little red hen makes a pizza” by Philemon Sturges and the children decided that they want to make a pizza to share with their friends. Thinking about what they would like on their pizza and asking their friends too, we made a shopping list. In the pictures you can see their dedication, their willingness to co-operate and their happiness to share with each other. The plan was to make a delicious pizza that they will enjoy eating together with their friends. The pizza was delicious and we all made sure that everyone had a piece.  

 

Song Game - "Who's under the blanket"

 On Thursday, we played a game called “Who's under the blanket”. One child at a time had to go hide their eyes while another child hid under the blanket. The children in the circle sang the song: “Who's under the blanket, who's under the blanket, come and guess, come and guess” in order to invite the child that was hiding his eyes to come guess who is under the blanket. The task was to ask the person that's under the blanket 3 questions in order to help the seeker guess who it is. 

Laughter and jokes arose as we all had a turn guessing and hiding! 

Friendship Recipe

Hugs, kisses, and games are only some of the things that the children in the wind group show their friendship through. Emilie said that she likes to draw pictures for her friends and everyone got an idea. "Let's make a card and a present for our friends". We made a chart with some of the qualities we find in a friend and things that we do together and came up with a Friendship recipe. 

* 2 cups of Happiness (Four) 

* 1 cup of Stickiness - Hugs (Glue)

* 1 cup of Love (Water) 

* 1 Tbsp. Laughter (Salt)

We mixed them all together and we made dough. Out of that dough, the children modeled a figurine, attached it to the card and wrote a few words to say thank you for being good friends!
