This week in the Curious Crew class we have concentrated on what utensils and gadgets we use in the kitchen. It was quite interesting hearing some of the answers we had in ring time! 

Again, this week we have been hard at work learning the alphabet. Not only being able to recognise the letter but also the sound the letters make, the Crew just love singing their Jolly Phonics! Letter Recognition is one of the most important requirements for Grade R. Please, if you could practice this with your little ones at home. In saying that I’m so proud to say that almost half of the class know all the letters of the alphabet. Wow, yay #proudteacher. 

I love this theme and so do the children! Let’s get started…  

Ice cream always goes down well so that was our cooking activity for the week. Using condensed milk, heavy whipping cream, vanilla essence, and then the Crew got to choose their flavour: vanilla, chocolate or strawberry. They could not wait to dive in! 

The Crew also got creative making their own chef apron felt art. Each Crew got an outline of an apron and they used glue to stick pieces of felt to make their personalized apron. 

Last but not least we ended off the week drawing our favourite food. The Crew were so happy, chatting about what they love eating most! It seems that chocolate, hamburger and pizza are our class favourites. 

Next week is our Curious Crew market day and shopping activity, please let me know if you have any questions. Crew must have someone to help them on Market Day and an example of the market day slips will go out beforehand so that everyone knows how the slips will work. The parents do not need to worry about handling any money at all. The Crew will also be doing their shopping activity on Wednesday. 

Next week’s theme: Shops and Shopping 

Our Crew!
