This week our theme was Farm Animals. 

Our colour of the week was Red, our shape was a Circle and our number was 4. 

For ring time this week we discussed the different types of farm animals we get, whether they are big or small. We also spoke about what some of the animals give us, for example cows give us milk. The Bugs also had lots of fun learning and making all the different farm animal sounds. 

For art this week we worked on three different art pieces: 

 * We made a cute horse using a toilet roll, painted it brown and added wool for the horse’s hair. 

* We coloured in our tractors which will be personalised for our Art Expo. 

* Our last activity was a fun “follow the instructions” drawing activity where the bugs copied Teacher Monette while drawing a little piggy. 

For numeracy this week we enjoyed our cube activity again to help familiarise the Bugs with numbers and following instructions. 

For FunFit Sports this week we practiced catching and throwing activities which were used for assessments. We also enjoyed some music activities where we sang songs and used instruments to follow the beat. 

We ended off the week by doing a fine motor sticker activity where the Bugs had to remove stickers and stick them on the back of the papers. They enjoyed this activity so much! 

Well done to our busy little Bugs, we had such a fun and busy week together!

Have a HAPPY weekend!

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.
