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

Autumn, Birds, Migration and Easter

We spent our time telling lots of tales of the Easter bunny and how he brings us the yummy chocolate eggs we eat at Easter time to remember the real meaning of Easter! He looks different to each of our children – depending on who you ask. Some think he is big like a man (typical of the Easter bunnies you see in malls at this time for photo opportunities) and he hops around the garden hiding eggs for a fun Easter egg hunt on Sunday morning!

Then we had a chat about what makes a home… mommies and/or daddies (even if they don’t live in the same house) who love us, brothers and sisters to play with, food to eat together at night while we talk to each other about our days, pets to look after and fun to be had, a place to always feel safe and looked after and happy – this makes a house a home!
