Winter contains spring and autumn fruits, giving birth to the hope and power of life.

Series of Activities and Growth Goals
(Part of the exhibition)
With the expectation and longing for the snow, the children also watched the video of the snow together and praised it "too beautiful!"
What does a little snowflake look like? So, we carefully looked at the picture of the snow flower, the children have their own understanding of the snow flower.
"The snowflake has six pointy horns."
"The snow is white, but it is very small."
"Snowflakes are mini."
"Princess Elsa loves to be out here in the snow."
Children in Suzhou rarely have the chance to get close to and feel the snow. The teacher made ice and snow and led the children to get close to the snow and feel the touch and temperature of the snow.
Avery's findings: "The ice is cool and slippery to the touch, and water droplets are cool to the hand when the ice melts.
When the ice melted, I could feel the 'little dinosaur' hidden inside. It was amazing!"
The little painter picked up the paintbrush for the ice to put on beautiful colorful clothes, painting on the ice is a very amazing thing, colorful paint on the ice, ice with melting and flow, into a special dress, is a beautiful ice painting ah!
Avery mixed red and blue to create purple ice cubes.
When different colors of paint are added to the baby, the water becomes different colors as if by magic.
For children, proper physical exercise in winter can not only enhance their physical fitness, prevent diseases, but also exercise their willpower!
Winter exercise, due to the continuous contraction of muscles, faster heart rate, deeper breathing, vigorous metabolism, the body produces more heat.
At the same time, it can enhance the excitability of the cerebral cortex, so that the temperature regulation center can adjust the body temperature sensitively and accurately, adapt to the cold environment, and improve the ability of children to keep out the cold.
And winter physical exercise, can improve children's blood circulation, promote the absorption of calcium, phosphorus and other elements of the body, contribute to bone growth and development.
It's important to warm up well
In cold winter weather, the viscosity of human muscles and ligaments increases, the elasticity and extensibility of muscles decrease, and the joints will become more rigid. If you start exercising without warming up, you can easily cause muscle strain and joint damage. Therefore, you should prepare your muscles and joints more fully than usual before winter sports to achieve the best performance.
Choose the right weather
In winter, LWS only recommends outdoor sports on sunny days. If you encounter strong winds, haze and other weather, due to dry climate, low air pressure, at this time in the air can be inhaled particles, and exercise and need to breathe deeply, is likely to lead to a large number of harmful substances into the body, causing respiratory tract and other organ diseases.
Therefore, it is better not to participate in outdoor activities under strong winds, haze and other weather conditions, and stay indoors where the air is relatively clean.
"We should cherish the unique value of games and life, create rich educational links, and maximize the support and meet the needs of children through direct perception, practical operation and personal experience"
