This week in the Curious Crew class , we focused a lot on Easter during theme discussion, we focused on the real meaning behind Easter and we watched a few educational videos to try make it easier for the kids to understand, we also sang our weekly songs daily for our shape and we counted to our number too. Everyone loved speaking about Easter and their excitement for the Easter bunny was real!!

For Art this week , we had many fun easter activities planned for everyone, we made the cutest little egg shell plant, it was a fun idea Teacher Clarissa got from our Phonic book last week, called ‘Egg Heads’, each child had the chance to decorate their egg shells then place Chia seeds into their eggs, and its been their responsibility this week to water their seeds.

We also got super creative with waxies and water paint this week, each child had a secret pattern drawn on their eggs for their cards and they had to use different coloured water paints to bring out their patterns.

Using paper cups we really put on our creative caps and we made a hopping bunny using bottle caps, elastics and we drew on bunny faces and pasted on ears, the class did so well, and each of their bunnies are so unique.

 It was a lot of fun this week with all our different art activities we had planned for everyone , we all had a blast

On Wednesday we had a super fun and exciting outing to Eagles Tumbling at John Barrable Hall, the kiddies that went got to explore all the apparatus and they all got put into groups with different coaches and they got to part take in different activities that the coaches had planned for them 

 HEART MATTERS

This weeks Heart Matters lesson was based on how they feel according to what they hear, so teacher Hela played different music for them, and they had a turn to tell the group how they feel, the kiddies loved being able to dance and move around to different kind of music. It was an educational, and everyone defiantly learnt new things.

May everyone have a blessed Easter weekend with their friends and families, to those going away may you travel safely.

We are looking forward to Term 2 with our Curious Crew and all the fun times and adventures that lay ahead.

 

Wishing All Our Christian Families And Friends A Happy And Blessed Easter ...

Dinosaurs – Under the Soil

Amongst the many different activities we have completed this week, we did a fossil like Pterodactyl made out of pasta. The Crew had to copy the example, planning where to glue next and how many pieces of pasta they would need. It came out really beautifully.

Space

Space

Space is always such an exciting and interesting theme which we can expand so much on. The Crew have a good understanding of space and it was great to go into the finer detail about space. This week our ring times have been extra-long because there is just so much information on space.

Reptiles

For art this week, we decided it would be a cool idea for the Crew to make their own Reptile booklets. We set out a displayed and instructed the children to draw first in black as the outline and then to colour in the pictures they had drawn. These came out so beautifully and we have decided to keep them for Art Expo.
