During ring time, we discussed the difference between hot and cold and spoke about the importance of staying safe around things that are hot. 

For Numeracy, we enjoyed some fun counting activities. The Bugs counted the blocks and matched them to the correct colour. We also completed an activity where they had to circle the correct number that was given to them. They all did an amazing job, and we are so proud of their hard work! 

In 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. 

Throughout the week, we also enjoyed a cutting activity and had lots of fun with playdough. The Bugs rolled little worms and practised their scissor skills by cutting them into smaller pieces. 

Yoga 

Getting ready for our yoga session, we started with a side plank (leg down) warm-up pose, which helps to: 

• Strengthen the core 

• Stabilise the shoulders 

• Activate the hip muscles 

Our yoga song included seven different poses, all combined with breathwork to encourage focus and relaxation. 

For our group pose, we sat together in a circle with our feet touching in the centre. Using our tummy muscles, we lifted our feet together into Boat Pose and held it for 10 seconds. The Bugs did so well! 

We ended our session with some peaceful quiet time. 

It has been a week filled with fun, learning, creativity, and exciting activities. We hope you all have a wonderful mid-term break, and we look forward to seeing everyone back at school refreshed and ready for another exciting term! 

Have a safe and happy holiday! 

Our Bugs!
