What are fruits?

Welcome Petals Friends! Another exciting day unfolded at our class as we delved into various engaging activities. Here’s a peek into our vibrant Tuesday! We kicked off the day with interactive sessions designed to stimulate our little learners. We had a blast sorting vegetables and fruits. We challenged ourselves into familiarizing not just our names but our friends too!

In the spirit of Mother’s Day, Maryna led our class in a delightful dance routine. Everyone’s eyes were glued to her while they tried copying the dance steps. We also rehearsed the song that is dedicated to our beloved mothers.

E: I don’t know how to dance.
Inquisitive minds took center stage during our circle time. Building on yesterday’s fruit exploration, we embarked on a scientific journey, considering whether fruits would sink or float in water. Through hands-on experimentation, our young scientists made fascinating discoveries, especially when grapes and tomatoes danced in sparkling water, learning the magic of carbonation.
