Kinder JL: The making of our Kaildescope

First we painted the tube
Then we added the sparkles and glitter

A look inside!
Can we see inside?
We realized that we needed to make the eye hole bigger to see inside!

We discovered that if we shine light inside, you can see the reflections a lot better!!


Let me shine my flashlight inside so you can see better!




It's sparkly!!

All around the world, I'm gonna let it shine 

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine!!

Welcome Back

Hello All,

Welcome back and we hope you had a nice break. Even after the long holiday, the children have settled back into school, with ease and happiness. We are continuing on with our new Unit- Light and Dark, which will take us on many amazing journeys, looking at day and night, color and many other things.

Please remember to send in a flashlight (torcia) with batteries as soon as possible, so that the children can explore on their own.

We have organized our first field trip of the year, to the Planetarium- Museo Astronomico! We will be going on Tuesday the 27th of November, leaving at 9:15 and returning at approximately 1pm. Please be punctual getting to school on the day. Home time will be the usual pick up time. We sent home the permission slip this week with your child, if you haven't received it, please let us know and we will get you another copy. 

See you soon,

The Kinder Team
