Dan jabuka: 20. listopad / Apple Day: October 20th

Idući tjedan s djecom ćemo obilježiti Dan jabuka. Gotovo sva djeca iz grupe vole jesti jabuke, a posebno vole pojesti jabuku nakon vježbe iz praktičnog života kao što je rezanje voća.

~

Next week we will celebrate Apple Day. Almost all children in the classroom like to eat apples, but they especially love to eat an apple after the exercise of practical life, such as cutting fruit. 

Stare aktivnosti na temu Jabuka možete pronaći OVDJE i OVDJE.

Citrusi / Citrus

Kada smo najavile novu temu koju ćemo s djecom raditi u sklopu projekta o voću, roditelji su se zaista lijepo odazvali i donijeli nam razne vrste citrusa. Iskoristili smo priliku i napravili nekoliko vježbi iz praktičnog života:

~

When we announce a new theme in our fruit project, the parents have really responded well and brought us various kinds of citrus. We used this opportunity and made a couple of exercises in practical life area: 

Cijeđenje limuna / Squeezing lemons

Nakon cijeđenja limuna (ova vježba je oduševila djecu) smo napravili limunadu koju smo popili poslije ručka.

~

After juicing a lemon we made lemonade, which we drank after lunch. 

Cijeđenje naranče / Squeezing Oranges

Nakon cijeđenja naranče, djeca su pila svježi, nerazrijeđeni sok od naranče. Bila su oduševljena.

~

After juicing oranges, kids drank a fresh, undiluted orange juice. They were thrilled. 

Guljenje mandarine / Peeling mandarin

Zanimljiva aktivnost koju smo imali i prošle godine:

An interesting activity that we had last year: 

Vađenje plastičnih naranča iz vode

Ladling plastic oranges from water

Predvježba za šivanje: naranča (ova naranča je zapravo podmetač za čaše, Pack shop)

Introduction to sewing: Orange (the orange is actually a coaster, Pack Shop)

Kartice za bogaćenje rječnika

(imenovanje citrusa na karticama i učenje nadređenog pojma: citrusi)

~

Enrichment of vocabulary

(appointment of citrus on the cards and learning the superior concept: Citrus)

Kartice za čitanje i klasificiranje / 3 part cards

Slikanje s vodenim bojama: Naranče i limuni

Painting with watercolors: Oranges and lemons

I na kraju brojalica:

And in the end, nursery rhyme about the value of lemons and oranges for our health: 

Naranča i limun dobri su za nas 

kada dođe zima oni su nam spas.

Osim svega navedenog, razgovarali smo o citrusima, imenovali smo vrste citrusa, na karti smo tražili u kojim krajevima rastu - u Hrvatskoj i u svijetu, koja se jela i pića od njih spravljaju, igrali smo igre pogađanja po opipu, mirisu, tražili smo podatke o citrusima u dječjim enciklopedijama i knjigama o voću... Sve u svemu, djeca su se dobro zabavila.

~

Besides all this, we talked about the citrus, we named citrus species, we looked at the map for information in which regions citrus grow - in Croatia and worldwide, which foods and beverages can be prepared from citrus, we played guessing games by touch, smell, we searched for information about citrus in the children's encyclopedias and books about the fruit ... All in all, the kids were well entertained.

FRIDAY WRAP-UP! (Little Hands, Big Work)

Voćni obroci / Fruit snack

Sjećate li se posta o orašastim plodovima? Na kraju posta piše da će nam kuharice iz vrtića pripremiti nešto od oraha koje smo samljeli. Napravile su kiflice od oraha! I bilo ih je punooooo! Djeca su bila oduševljena - cijela soba mirisala je po kolačima, a jeli smo ih dok su bili još vrući.
Evo kako su kiflice izgledale:
~
Remember the post about nut fruit? At the end of the post says that our cooks from kindergarten will prepare something of the nuts we ground. They made cookies with nuts! And there were a looooot of them! Children were delighted - the whole room smelled of the cookies, and we ate them while they were still hot. 
Here is how the cookies look like: 

Voćna salata i voćni kompot za užinu / Fruit salad and fruit compote for a snack: 

U pravilu djeca iz naše grupe vole voće, pa i roditelji često voće donose od kuće umjesto keksa i sličnih grickalica. Svježe i suho voće također jedemo i za rođendane umjesto kolača i torte. Roditelji donesu voće od kojeg složimo oblik torte.

Također u vrtiću svakodnevno dobivamo voće uz neki obrok pa ga u toku dana djeca pojedu.

~

Children in our group like fruit, so the parents often bring fruit from home instead of cookies and similar snacks. We also eat fresh or dried friut for birthdays instead of cake and cookies. Parents bring the fruits and then we make form of cake of it. 

Also in the kindergarten every day we get some fruit with the meal, so children eat fruit during the day. 

Orašasto voće / Nut fruit

U prethodnom razdoblju smo radili vježbe s orasima, lješnjacima, kestenima, bademima, kikirikijem i pistacijama. Preskočili smo makadamijski orah, brazilski orah, indijski orah i japanski orah jer ne rastu u našim krajevima.

Djeci se od svih vježbica najviše svidjelo drobljenje i mljevenje oraha i lješnjaka :-)

~

In the previous period we have been doing exercises with walnuts, hazelnuts, chestnuts, almonds, pistachios and peanuts. We skipped macadamia nut, Brazil nut, cashew nut and Japanese walnut because they do not grow in our region. 

Children like the most crushing and grinding walnuts and hazelnuts of all exercises :-) 

Orasi / Walnuts:

Lješnjaci / Hazelnuts: 

Pitomi kesteni / Chestnut:

Divlji kesteni / Horse chestnut:

Bademi / Almonds:

Kikiriki / Peanuts:

Pistacije / Pistachios:

Predvježba za šivanje - kesten:

Introduction to sewing - I downloaded chestnut and other fruit from the Internet, cut, laminated and punched holes:

Drobljenje oraha (drobilicu je posudila kolegica iz vrtića):

Walnuts cracking (colleague from kindergarten has borrowed the crusher): 

Mljevenje oraha (stroj za mljevenje oraha nam je posudila mama od jednog dječaka iz grupe):

Grinding walnuts (we borrowed walnuts grinder from mom of one boy from our class): 

Mljeveni orasi: / Ground walnuts:

Drobljenje lješnjaka:

Cracking hazelnuts:

Mljevenje lješnjaka: proces je isti kao kod oraha. Ovo je rezultat.

Grinding hazelnuts: the process is the same as with walnuts. This is the result.

Razvrstavanje orašastog voća: badem, lješnjak, kesten i orah

Sorting nuts: almond, hazelnut, chestnut and walnut 

Razvrstavanje plastičnog orašastog voća:

Sorting plastic nuts:

 

Razvrstavanje pitomih i divljih kestena:

Sorting chestnuts and horse chestnuts: 

Slaganje sličica kestena po veličini (besplatan download kod Sarah Sellers):

Sorting chestnuts by size (free download at Sarah Sellers):

 

Brojke i žetoni (umjesto žetona trenutno imamo lješnjake):

Numerals and counters (we currently have hazelnuts instead of counters): 

Uparivanje fotografije i pravog orašastog voća:

Pairing the photos and the real nuts: 

Djeca koja znaju čitati mogu ispod kartica staviti natpis. Na poleđini kartica s fotografijom i natpisom su kontrolne točke.
~
Children who can read can put a label under the card. On the back of the cards with photo and on the back of the labels are checkpoints. 

Osim svega navedenog puno smo razgovarali o orašastim plodovima - zašto se tako zovu, kako i gdje rastu, zašto su važni i zdravi... Sva djeca (koja su željela) su jela lješnjake, orahe, pistacije, bademe i kikiriki. Većini se okus svidio. Mljevene orahe smo odnijeli u vrtićku kuhinju gdje će kuharice nešto pripremiti i donijeti nam u sobu dnevnog boravka.

~

Besides all this, we talked a lot about the nuts - why they call it that way, where and how they grow, why they are important and healthy ... All children (who wanted) were eating nuts, walnuts, pistachios, almonds and peanuts. Most of them liked the taste. Ground walnuts are taken in the kindergarten kitchen where cooks will prepare something to bring us in our classroom. 

Ako vas zanima, prošle godine sam OVDJE spomenula kestene a lješnjake OVDJE.
