She also loves anything to do with water - playing with hoses, visiting the pool or the beach - and recently started enjoying pretend play with her toys. She sets up this whole scenario and talks to herself, cooking meals and feeding her toys. It's sweet and entertaining to observe her little imaginary world. I'm curious to see how long this phase will last!

He's also quite fond of playdough, especially the squishy feeling, which is great for his sensory play too. And he loves sand art!

My class recently had an exciting time exploring different types of leaves! We went on a leaf hunt around the school compound and discovered so many unique shapes, sizes, and textures. We gathered some of the most interesting ones and created a huge leaf collage together. It was amazing to see the children's excitement and their eagerness to point out the different colours and shapes.
