This week our theme was Senses. We started the week by enjoying some ring time, where we discussed our different senses and what they are used for. We also played many fun games related to our senses. 

The bugs enjoyed a smelling activity where we sprayed a scent over their heads and they had to guess what they could smell. We also played a hearing game where the bugs had to guess the names of animals based on the sounds they heard. For touch, we enjoyed some playdough play, where the bugs explored and felt the different textures. On Friday, we ended the week with a yummy tasting activity using marshmallows to explore our sense of taste. 

For art this week, we made little rattles using toilet rolls. The bugs painted them yellow and then inserted small rocks inside to create sound. 

We also enjoyed a numeracy activity where the bugs had to stick stickers along the outline of the number 2, which was our weekly number—of course, on yellow paper! Hehe  

During FunFit sports, the bugs played a fun game with Coach Trevor, where they had to throw small balls into buckets. They did absolutely amazing! 

We also completed all our fun demos this week, and I can proudly say that the bugs enjoyed each and every one of them. 

In addition, we enjoyed a music lesson in class where the bugs had to follow instructions given by their teachers. We moved fast, fast, fast and slowww, slowww, slowww. 

I am so proud of the bugs and how well they are adapting to the school routine. You are making Teacher Nettie’s heart very happy!

During ring time, we spoke about the different planets, looked at the beautiful colours of each one, and practised saying some of their names. The Bugs were so interested and loved learning all about space!

Art, we had a wonderful messy play activity where the Bugs painted a fire underneath a ziplock bag, using their tiny fingers to blend the colours together. We then went on a nature walk to collect pieces of bark, which we glued onto our artwork to make our fires look warm and cosy.
