We had an incredibly busy and exciting week as we worked on all our beautiful Easter art! Alongside our creative activities, we focused on numbers, letters, and shapes, ensuring the Crew had plenty of opportunities to practice these important concepts. 

It has been amazing to see how much progress the Crew is making. They are now able to follow simple instructions and make their artwork their own, which fills our teacher hearts with so much pride! Their faces lit up with joy when we created our tinfoil and water Easter egg art in the art studio—what a magical experience! These moments are so special, and I’m sure you as parents are just as proud of their achievements. 

The Crew put a lot of effort into their adorable Easter artwork, which will serve as a lovely keepsake from Easter 2025. We can’t wait for you to see them! 

During Ring Time, we played engaging games focused on reinforcing shapes, numbers, and letters. These activities help solidify these concepts, and with assessments coming up next term, we encourage you to practice them at home to further strengthen their understanding. 

We also explored the fascinating differences between migration (when birds and animals move to warmer places) and hibernation (when animals prepare for winter by saving food and sleeping through the cold months). The Crew loved learning about how animals adapt to different seasons! 

To build fine motor skills, we did plenty of cutting activities this week. Using scissors strengthens those little fingers and helps the Crew develop confidence in handling them independently. 

At FunFit Sports, the Crew continued preparing for Sports Day in May! This week, they focused on shot put and long jump. Their enthusiasm was fantastic, and they can’t wait to show off their incredible skills! 

Yoga this week was full of fun and movement! 🌿🧘‍♂️ We started with warm-ups, including a butterfly adventure (sitting in butterfly pose 🦋). Then, we played a game of Would You Rather? I gave the Crew two choices: 

💭 “Would you rather live in a tree? (Tree Pose 🌳) or on a boat? (Boat Pose 🚤)” 

On the count of “Three, two, one—show me!” each little yogi chose their pose. We wrapped up with a breathing exercise and some peaceful quiet time. 

Our story time with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory continued, and the Crew is absolutely loving the adventures of Charlie and Willy Wonka! To make the story come alive, I surprised them with a warm cup of hot chocolate made with real cocoa. Using their five senses, they fully experienced the delicious treat, complete with a fluffy marshmallow on top! The little chocolate beards on their faces were proof enough that they enjoyed every sip. 

 Please note: 

🐣 Easter art will be sent home at the end of next week. 

🍪 Your little one will also be baking a special treat to bring home! 

 Have a wonderful weekend!
