This week has been wonderful and full of excitement! All the kiddies have settled in so nicely and are beginning to feel comfortable in their new little “home’’. This week’s theme was “My Body’’. We started the week off by discussing how amazing our bodies are. We made x-rays out of our hands, which the Crew just loved!

After learning about our bones, we began to analyse some of our incredible inner body parts (our organs). Specifically, the blood that passes through them. Teacher Clarissa helped the kiddies make up their own blood jar, explaining all of the components that the blood consists of. The children had so much fun! (We created blood using red squishy balls, white polystyrene balls, red platelet squares and yellow water).

We drew a picture of our body image, there were some very cute and interesting pictures drawn, hehe!

With our colour of the week being RED, we thought it would be super interesting for the Crew to see how we can mix other colours with red. They were amazed and saw that when we mix red with white we get pink, when we mix it with blue we get purple and when we mix it with yellow we got orange.

We also started our cooking, FunFit Sports and Yoga intramurals this week. The children were so thrilled! We also had some extra mural demos that the children really enjoyed too!

Please note that not all worksheets will go home as we have a portfolio that we send out with reports in the second term. That way, you can see how much they have progressed throughout the year.

We hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Next week’s theme: My Senses

 

A Happy Body is a Happy Me!

The most important rule in our class is to ‘Keep your hands to yourself’. Parents – if you could please chat to your children at home about this rule and how they can respect their friends’ personal space during class time and playtime.

Autumn, Birds, Migration and Easter

It has been amazing to see how much progress the Crew is making. They are now able to follow simple instructions and make their artwork their own, which fills our teacher hearts with so much pride! Their faces lit up with joy when we created our tinfoil and water Easter egg art in the art studio—what a magical experience! These moments are so special, and I’m sure you as parents are just as proud of their achievements.

My House

During our ring time sessions this week, we explored various types of homes—not just for humans, but also the clever abodes that animals and insects create or find. We even went through each room in a house, giving the Crew a clue to guess the room, which tied in perfectly with our activity where they built their own little houses with different rooms. We chatted about a range of homes, from tree houses and apartments to huts, caravans, teepees, and igloos. The Crew impressed us with how much they already knew about the materials needed to build a house—such a clever Crew we have!
