Nn- Night

We are so excited for our concert tomorrow! We can’t wait for you to see all of the hard work that the Bugs have put in! 

Twinkle-twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are… This was one of many Space themed songs that were sung over the past 2 weeks and boy did we have fun singing them!   

Our Busy Bugs absolutely loved learning about space and all of  the aspects involved. We spoke about the planets, meteors, stars, the milky way, astronauts and rockets. We watched lots of videos teaching us about all of these things and looked at loads of awesome pictures taken by satellites. We learned that we live on planet Earth, and this is the only planet that is known to have enough surface water to be inhabited by humans. We learned that Saturn has a giant ring of floating ice and rock chunks, and that Jupiter is the biggest planet in our solar system.   

We spoke about astronauts and their space gear. They must wear special suits and helmets while up in space because humans cannot breathe that far up. We spoke about gravity and how it makes objects, including people, stay on the ground. If there was no gravity, we would float away- the Bugs thought this was very funny! We also spoke about the special food that astronauts eat.  

For art, we made 2 beautiful Space pieces, but we loved them so much, we have decided to keep the for Art Expo!  

We also made a collaborative art piece, where each Bugs got to make a different part of the solar system.  

We hope that you all have a lovely weekend, and we will see you next week for another exciting theme!  

This week’s question: 

In your view, is Pluto still a planet? 

Next week’s theme: Dinosaurs and Under the Soil

Lots of love

We have a had buzzing good time learning about insects and bees this week! Our Busy Bugs (a very appropriate name if you ask us…) have absolutely loved seeing and hearing about all the different types of bugs we find in our garden! And we were so proud to see how many of them know so many cool facts about bugs!

Countries and Cultures

Countries and Cultures

It is always so important and valuable to learn about different cultures from around the world as you never know when you might get to meet someone from a different culture. South Africa is filled to the brim with so many of its own cultures, as well as cultures from all over the world, and we loved hearing about the different cultures of all of our Bugs.
