ב"ה TLC Nursery @ Nishmas NEWSLETTER 18 th May 2018 ב מ ד ב ר / שבועות - Shavuos Bamidbor/ "THE GOAL OF EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION SHOULD BE TO ACTIVATE THE CHILD'S OWN NATURAL DESIRE TO LEARN Dear Parents and Grandparents, We hope you all had a lovely week! In this week's parsha of Bamidbor, we learn about the 12 Mattos (Tribes) of the Bnei Yisroel. Each Tribe had their very own flag with a special sign on it. Each Tribe had a leader! We learnt the names of the 12 Tribes through singing: Reuben, Shimon, Levi, Yehudah, Yissachar, Zevulun, Dan, Naftoli, Gad, Asher, Yosef and Binyomin! We also learn how the B'nei Yisroel had to walk through the desert carrying the Mishkan! Imagine carrying something so heavy through a desert! OI VEY! Monday: Let s start our week!...

Today, to coincide with the sedra and the tribes of the B'nei Yisroel carrying their own flags with their special sign and symbol on it, the children made their very own flags with their Hebrew name on it. They decorated them, sharing resources well! WELL DONE CHILDREN! We then began to teach them the Aleph, Beis in Hebrew through singing! Tuesday: This week is Shavuos...Shavuos is such simcha! This is when B'nei Yisroel received the Torah! What a wonderful Present from Hashem! We explained to the children that on Shavuos we eat milky food and decorate our homes and shuls with pretty flowers! NAASEIH VNISHMAH! Page 2 of 6
Today the children made wonderfully yummy cheesecake in celebration of Shavuos and the yummy milky foods that we eat to celebrate! AND THEY TRULY CAME OUT DELICIOUS! How much fun did you have children crushing the biscuits! WELL DONE CHILDREN, SUCH SUPER STARS! Wednesday: As we mentioned last week in the newsletter there was no Show & Tell this week so as to celebrate the wonderful gift of receiving Hashem's special Present, The Torah, the children made the Torah out of puff pastry and veg sausages! They all did a great job folding their pastry over their sausages! GREAT JOB CHILDREN! HASHEM GAVE US A PRESENT, AND WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS HE GAVE US THE TORAH AND WE MUST KEEP ITS LAWS!

Thursday: Today the children planted in celebration of Shavous! Not only did they plant in little pots to take home but for our outdoor area too! We put different seeds on different plates to give the children an opportunity to identify that seeds can come in all different shapes and sizes. We had little round ones, tiny ones, long ones, big flat ones for them to take a look at. We explained that these different seeds produce different types of flowers in a variety of colours, sizes, shapes and smells! Well done Yakira for pointing out that a particular seed looked like "a little rectangle" and Benji for pointing out that they all need water to grow! WELL DONE CHILDREN! WE WILL BE LOOKING AT OUR OUTDOOR PLANTERS EVERYDAY TO SEE HOW OUR SEEDLINGS WILL EVENTUALLY GROW INTO BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS (AND BEANS). PARENTS, BY THE TIME YOUR CHILDREN GO TO BIG SCHOOL THEY WILL BE EXPERTS IN BAKING AND PLANTING! Friday: About time we had a birthday to celebrate at nursery! And we had TWO!!!!
