Rr- Recycling

This week , we really took the time to explain our theme thoroughly in our morning theme discussions, we spoke about the importance of Recycling , we also discussed what materials can be recycled and how they get divided into 4 different bins  we also sang our recycling song too. we also in our morning rings , counted , went over our colour of the week , number and shape too.


We practiced our concert songs and dances , and boy everyone is doing it so well.

For art this week , we did a very cute “Reduce , Reuse , Recycle colouring in work sheet. And this came out so cute as everyone tried their best to colour in so so well

We also did a crossing midline worksheet as well as a counting and cutting worksheet. 

FUNFIT SPORTS
This week we had a super busy and funfilled lesson with Coach Trevor , this week we had to show coach Trevor just what we made of , we had to climb , skip , kick , hop and so much more !!!

 YOGA :

Curious Crew Yoga:
Today we focused on hand coordination and strengthening by using our wooden stick and rolling it between our hands (making a fire)
This basic exercise reduces feelings of stress and helps improve motor control and aids in motor memory for learning movements involved in fine motor tasks. Using both hands together in a coordinated movement is a skill required for writing and using scissors

In addition, our yogis had to use their core muscles aswell as their upper body strength to grab hold of the wooden stick by using the superman pose. Using their core and upper body, the yogis then had to grab hold of the stick and keep their tummy tight and body straight, and arms and elbows off the ground for 10 seconds. This exercise aids in strengthing the muscles around the spine as well as inner core.

BAKING :

For baking this week , we used recycled cups , and we made worms in dirt , using oreos for the soil and gummy worms for the earth worms , the class loved this idea and were all looking so forward to enjoying their little snack.

FAREWELL TO DAMON

Today we say goodbye to our very special Damon , as him and his family embark on their new adventure in Australia, we wish them the best of luck with the journeys that lay ahead , we pray you have a safe flight and that you and your family get settled soon.

We are going to miss Damon’s cute smile , Dinosaur stories , and cute head of curls , he will always have a special place in the Curious Crew class.*

Overall it was a busy week in the curious crew class.

May everyone have a blessed weekend.

Insects and Bees; Frogs and Ponds, Rivers and Dams

For art this week, we made amazingly beautiful bug jars. The Crew were instructed to colour in their bug jars and different types of critters to go inside. We cut the inside of the jar out and laminated the bugs inside. We will be keeping them for art expo to display them in the prettiest kind of way.

Countries and Cultures

Countries and Cultures

We thought it would be super fun for the Crew to mix things up a bit for Show and Tell and explore sharing facts on different countries. Teacher Tegan made a list of countries and numbered them. She then created a digital wheel and each Crew member got to spin the wheel to see what number and country they would have to find facts one. Show and tell this week is going to be so much FUN! And we will be taking videos of the facts presented to the class.

Spring, Flowers & Planting; Trees, Plants, Wood & Paper

In the spirit of Spring we needed to take advantage of all the bright colours that come with Spring. We decided that a pretty Spring flower still life painting would be a great activity as our first art piece for the 3rd term. It was beautiful to see how the Crew used lots of different colours and took their time to create these beautiful masterpieces.
