LETTER

Ii – Insect

The Curious Crew had one busy week this week! Our ring times consisted of us discussing the different insects , and what makes them insects , and we spoke about why bees are important to nature. 

We practiced our shape , and how many sides it has , and we focused on our number too.. 

ART 

For art this week , we focused a bit on our art expo art that we can not wait for !! And we can’t wait to show it off to all you parents. 

We also did a very cute Reggio Emilia loose parts activity where each child had the job of creating their own insect garden using different materials as well as plastic insects. This was a very fun project for the class to complete.

We had the best baking Friday where we made cute little caterpillars using bananas , smarties and pretzels , the kids loved doing this and enjoyed eating it too. 

FUNFIT SPORTS

This week coach Trevor tested the class by timing their speed and their abilities on the playground. He timed as each child had to swing through the monkey bars , climbed the jungle gym , and raced to climb down , each child did their very best to get the best time. 

YOGA

Yoga Day for Curious Crew: 

YAY-YAY YOGA! 

Keeping with this weeks theme of Insects, we did yoga to the song; ABC’s of insects. We then made a pot of “Insect Soup” discussing different types of insects and their characteristics.

Dinosaurs – Under the Soil

Amongst the many different activities we have completed this week, we did a fossil like Pterodactyl made out of pasta. The Crew had to copy the example, planning where to glue next and how many pieces of pasta they would need. It came out really beautifully.

Space

Space

Space is always such an exciting and interesting theme which we can expand so much on. The Crew have a good understanding of space and it was great to go into the finer detail about space. This week our ring times have been extra-long because there is just so much information on space.

Reptiles

For art this week, we decided it would be a cool idea for the Crew to make their own Reptile booklets. We set out a displayed and instructed the children to draw first in black as the outline and then to colour in the pictures they had drawn. These came out so beautifully and we have decided to keep them for Art Expo.
