Big Kids’ Club with Polly the fairy!
Every Tuesday in Big Kids Club, the kids and I have been learning all about ourselves but…We haven’t done this alone.
Have you guys heard about Polly the fairy?
She joined our Big Kids Club when I came back from Mexico. She might have got into my backpack without me even noticing it but either way she has been of a lot of help for us. She has become more and more popular every week.
All of our regular Tuesday kids (Heron, Vivienne, Dez, and the list goes on..) know who she is and have been searching for her letters every afternoon at 1 o clock.
I have to say that’s my favourite part of my Big Kids Club.
“Guys, should we go check if we got a new letter from Polly?” I ask.
“Yeah!” They yell with excitement and run to the main Budding’s door to find it. Sometimes she likes to hide them very well so we have to look for a couple minutes. Then, a loud voice says: ” I found it guys. I found it!”

Once the letter is found, it’s time for us to go back to Big Kids Club room and read it together. Every time she has something new to tell us. She either needs help with something, or wants to learn something new.
Lately, Polly has been curious about “Families.”
Heron, Isabella and I went down to the library to get a bunch of books that talked about families. Heron and Isabella got a little bit distracted with books about robots so I let them bring a book about robots as well.
From our family books we learned that every family is different and live in different ways. We learned that every family lives in a different house. Polly the fairy lives in the woods and even though we haven’t seen her (or her house) we have been reading about fairies and we kind of have an idea of where she might live.
While learning about families and different types of homes, we came with the idea of building our own house. Everyone’s house was different and Dez and Heron were very into their art project.
This is Heron’s house, and that’s his new dog, of course.
He got a new puppy recently so he wanted to include it in his project. Heron explained to me every part of his project, from the floor to the ceiling. We even did a small potty and sang the Budding’s potty song together: “Pee, pee, pee, (name) has to pee, (name) is a big boy and he pees on the potty.”
It was nice listening to their families’ stories and building houses together. Join us on our new adventure at BKC. We will be learning all about our amazing bodies!
