Berry Picking —Robin

We would take the children berry picking.

This would help with their physical domain while berry picking and language development as they’d be talking about what they’re doing with one another.

An extension activity I could do is read a book about berries and plants. A book I’d recommend is “ᒦᑲ ᓯᓚᒦᑦᑐᒻᒪᖅ ᐱᕈᖅᑐᑦ Meeka Loves Nature Plants”.

The physical that the children would be focused on is a pincer grip, also hand-eye coordination because they’re locating where the berries are. This would also be including math as the children are counting how many berries they’re picking and they also could do a pattern. Science and math too because an extension activity could be baking with the berries they have picked.

2: with the new game that was taught to us, I would get 2 white sheets or blankets and have a teacher to get 2 kids hide with the sheets and have the other children to hide somewhere in the boundaries and get 1 child to help me look for the kids who are hiding and find the 2 with sheets, if not found then turn around with the child and have the kids with sheet move a little closer and try find them.

Additional activity I would connect is let the children pick an arctic animal ask them what they sound like, how they walk, what they eat, and pretend to be that animal

1. Reading the book about the animals

- name of the book -tuktu’s journey

2. I would copy the book , make the kids follow the snow footprints, asking the child where their friends are, acting like an arctic animal..

3. We would sing along to it too and even dance..

I would sing it like ‘’naugli ukkalik 3x, and the rest would say ‘’taika ukkalik’’ almost like the song (where is thumbkin)

why, singing and dancing -because it would help the kids move their body (gross motor skill) and language domain..

What domain would be used

Cognitive -remembering, thinking, memorize.

Social -being around friends

Emotional -being excited

Language domain

Outdoor activity:

1) The topic is camouflage

2) I would teach the children that there are animals that are the same colour as the ground in the winter so that they can hide from other animals. I would give the children a white sheet and get them to run and hide under the sheet (pretending to be a rabbit hiding from a wolf, which another child would be the wolf).

3) One additional activity I could connect to the topic would be using materials like twigs, leaves and paint to create a camouflage effect on an animal cutout. Then I would challenge the children to hide their creation on a matching background.

Outdoor activity

What we can do outdoors is playing a scavenger hunt. We can create a list of what the children should find such as a certain shape of a rock, grass, plants, water, butterflies and tracks. This nature scavenger hunt is connected to other things like team-building, friendship making, finding physical things outside. A reason for this is to develop more critical thinking skills and to explore, it is also a cognitive exercise.

To add to this activity, we can do a size/measurement scavenger hunt. Say we find something as long as their arm, as short as their hand, as tall as themselves or even taller. We can even find 3 rocks or 2 leaves, 4 snow balls. This makes them count and measure as they go.

INSTRUCTIONS: Include the following in your response:

1) Topic: Nuna

2) What would you do outdoors with children?

I would take the children out for a walk to look at the Nuna, for the seasonal ground change and show them that each season the earth changes four times a year. Collect plants and ask them to name each plant they picked from which ever season.

3) What additional activity could you connect to the topic? Why?

I would have the children do mix and match. This is a good way for children to organize and mix colours.
