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!!!

We have also been hard at work, learning the alphabet. Not only being able to recognise the letter but also the sound the letters makes. This 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

The Crew have still been hard at work with assessments this week and by the end of the week we will just have to do some final touches here and there so report writing will be in full swing.

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

Ice-lollies always go down well so that was our first food activity for the week. Using canned peaches, double thick yoghurt, lemon juice, some water and caster sugar we made lolly pops that even our fussy eaters loved. All recipes will be sent onto the group.

The Crew also got creative making their own snack. Each Crew got a piece of bread. They each had a turn to spread on some delicious Nutella and then using pretzels and slices of banana to make some cute little pictures on their bread.

 Last but not least we ended off the week making a cake in a cup. I don’t think I have ever seen my Crew so happy! Chocolate mouths for days, sorry Mom’s and Dad’s for the sugar rush. Please use these activities at home.

This is our last week for Puzzle Challenge, we will be sending out certificates in the week coming. Well done for your dedication and hard work Crew. I am very proud of all of you.

Next week is our Curious Crew Market Day, please let me know if you have any questions. Crew must have someone to help them on the 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.

Next week’s theme: Shops and Shopping

Father’s Day and Sport

Father’s Day and Sport

What an exciting week we’ve had in the Curious Crew class, especially leading up to the much-anticipated Bike-a-thon! The kids were counting down the days, asking daily if it was finally Bike-o-thon time. Today was no different, “When are we going to ride, teacher?” “Is it now?”—the questions didn’t stop! The big event finally took place after snack time during our break, and it was pure joy.

Land, Air and Sea Transport

Land, Air and Sea Transport

During ring time each morning, we encouraged the Crew to include transport in their sentences when discussing different types of vehicles. Our goal was for them to grasp what “transport” really means—not just naming cars, trucks, planes, and boats, but understanding why we use them.

The Farm: Farm Animals

This week, we explored the fascinating world of farm animals! We learned about the animals themselves, the sounds they make, the names of their babies, and even which meats come from which animals. We also discussed the many products animals give us — from milk, cheese, and yogurt to wool, feathers, and eggs.
