Belgium storys


BELGIUM STORYS 
Ant has a problem
Floppy and the water

Children 2 - 3 years


By the end of the Belgian storys, we made a wonderful picture of the bottle caps.

In cooperation with parents, we collected bottle caps and the children glue them on a cardboard base
Of course the teacher also helped😃😊






Sort by color and size









Some class´s of Correeira's Kintergarten visited a special water theme park that we have in Albufeira: Zoomarine where we could discover many things about the oceans.

 We also saw the macaws and parrots

 A very nice girl told us about the importance of the Oceans and how important it is that we keep them clean
 And then dolphins appeared

 And they were so beautiful!!!

 They jumped so high that when they fell in the water they splashed us!

 We also discovered a spot where turtles were. They walked so slowly!

 We were close to Sea Lions and how funny they were. They raced with us and everything!

 Then we went into something that looked like a grotto and there the Sea Lions were peering at us!
Bye!Bye!
The students at 3 ° C after hearing the story of the Floepje, drew the character as they imagined and reproduced it physically. This construction work was developed at home, with parents and used only recycled material.
 Timofiy - 9 years
 João Pedro - 8 years
 César - 8 years

Also made in group, in the school, a poster that represents:

the cleaned river 

 and..
