Who loves bananas?
Monkeys!!!
Today we explored monkeys as they too, live in the jungle. We found a bunch of banana’s hidden in a sensory bin filled with Orbeez. Banana’s are a monkey’s favourite food.




Each child made a unique and beautiful parrot, using different coloured crayons and feathers.

Giraffe’s Can’t Dance!
We learned about a Giraffe’s unique pattern, long necks and thin legs. Gerald the Giraffe, wanted to dance. However, with crooked knees and thin legs, this was hard to do. Gerald is finally able to dance to his own tune when he gets some encouraging words from a friend.
The moral of the story is to never give up on your dreams and work hard to achieve them. We also learned about the importance of friendship and how one can help others by simply encouraging those who feel discouraged.

We started the day by exploring the Jungle Area, using our binoculars and safari hats.
It wasn’t very difficult to spot the giraffe due to its very long neck.
We took the opportunity to measure our height and compare it to the baby giraffe’s height which can be as tall 182cm.
