This is such an exciting week – the children love it so much! They know a whole lot about sssssslithery snakes and tortoises, lizards and crocodiles, chameleons and turtles and we have loved having the opportunity to expand their knowledge this week! We have managed to have very long and involved ring time discussions, picking a different animal each day, and discussing it in depth! Reptiles are Teacher Gemma’s favorite thing so she knows more than the average Joe about them! The children learned a lot of new vocabulary like “cold blooded”, “vertebrates” and “camouflage” and had an absolute blast exploring our theme.  

For art this week we made an awesome art piece, but unfortunately, you won’t be able to see it yet as they were just so cute, we decided to keep them for Art Expo!   

Wednesday was by far our most exciting day of the week, as Julian, the snake-man, brought his lovely animas for us to see. There were snakes, lizards, geckos, spiders, gogo’s, frogs and even a chinchilla. Some of the Bugs were “all hands on deck”, and petted every single animal. Others were a little bit weary and chose to rather view from afar.  

We have also been hard at work preparing and practicing for our concert. Our Bugs have made us so proud! We hope you enjoy the show as much as we have enjoyed getting ready for it!  

Thank you for a lovely and exciting week! We are looking forward to another jam packed one next week ….

Cooking and Food

This week our theme was cooking, and the Bugs had an absolute blast! We spoke about the importance of washing our hands before preparing food and discussed how to stay safe in the kitchen. The Bugs were very excited to share that they often help Mommy and Daddy when cooking at home, and it was wonderful to see how much they already knew about kitchen safety and cleanliness.

Under The Sea

We mainly focused on educational activities such as cutting, drawing, shapes, colours, and counting. The Bugs also worked hard on following instructions and showed great improvement in their concentration and fine motor skills. In between our lessons, we made sure to enjoy some free play, giving the Bugs time to explore, build friendships, and express themselves creatively.
