Curious Crew really enjoyed this theme. They really loved taking part in ring time , learning about the different countries and their cultures. We enjoyed several educational videos too on what the different countries cultures are. We focused on our counting as well as our days of the week , we also repeated our months of the year as well as the seasons. 

ART

For Art this week , we made our very own rectangular prisms , we coloured them in and put them together to take home. 

We also made a super cool art piece , we drew our own little flags that we got to choose from different african countries , and we got to paste them on the african continent. We decorated this page with different patterns and colours. 

We had the best baking Thursday , we made rainbow bread. We used icing sugar with 100s and 1000s … the class loved this and enjoyed every single bite. 

FUNFIT SPORTS 

 This week Coach Trevor put the kids to the test , choosing captains for two teams and the teams had to compete in a very competitive throwing competition. Each team had to see how many tennis balls they could get into the buckets , to get a winning team.

YOGA 

Yoga Day for Curious Crew

Doing yoga to our new song “Scaly Little Snake” was super fun. We did snake pose, elephant, bear, cat, frog, and happy children poses. 

We did a few spinal twist poses and finished off listening to dolphin sounds for quiet time

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.

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.
