We just couldn’t be more proud of the Curious Crew! During each ring-time discussion, every child had something thoughtful to contribute about saving the world and throwing rubbish away responsibly. They really understand the value of recycling and are enthusiastic about making new things out of old materials. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle! It’s easy to do! 

This week’s theme was all about going green for our world. We introduced the Crew to the three R’s: 

Reduce – using less 

Reuse – using it again or for something new 

Recycle – turning waste into something brand new 

Although it was a short week, we kept ourselves very busy. The Crew completed a lovely tangram colouring activity of a turtle, and we’ve noticed a real improvement in their fine motor skills. Their colouring has become much neater, and they’re using such a vibrant variety of colours—true little artists in the making! 

For art, we tore up green magazine pages and used the pieces to decorate a recycling symbol. The Crew then coloured the words “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” to complete the piece. It was a simple but effective way to reinforce our message while building fine motor strength. 

We also made beautiful crowns out of toilet rolls and decorated with beads and glitter. This activity helped the children understand how even simple, everyday items can be transformed into something creative and fun. These crowns are real showstoppers and will be kept for our annual art expo. 

Taking our tearing skills one step further, we created world art pieces by making a torn paper background and painting the Earth using watercolours. The results were gorgeous and truly expressive. 

The Crew also worked on number identification and rote counting. They’re progressing beautifully, and many of them are confidently counting into the 30s—such a wonderful achievement! 

We went on a walk to visit the school’s recycling bins and spoke about how our school participates in recycling. This was followed by a nature walk, where the children were encouraged to notice and appreciate the beauty of the world around them—trees, flowers, insects, animals, and all the treasures nature has to offer. They had a wonderful time!

Our Letter Challenge continues, and it has been such a joy marking and commenting on the Crew’s efforts. Thank you, parents, for the wonderful support. This week, the letters j, k, and l will be going home in your child’s Letter Challenge book. 

Next week will be our final week of school before our week-long mid-term break. Don’t forget parents your child’s first report for the year will be sent home on 27 June. How exciting!
