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.

Do you have green skin? Do you shed the skin you’re in? Can you change colour, too? Turn from green to red to blue. Do you live among the trees, blending in with sticks and leaves? Then you are a chameleon!

Winter, Temperature, Fire and Ice

Winter, Temperature, Fire and Ice

This week we had a wonderful time exploring our winter-themed topic. We spoke about all sorts of interesting things like how veld fires start, how snow is formed, how we measure temperature, and why we experience winter in the first place. The Crew were full of questions and observations—what a curious and clever bunch!

Caring for our World: Recycling

During each ring-time discussion, every child had something thoughtful to contribute about saving the world and throwing rubbish away responsibly. They really understand the value of recycling and are enthusiastic about making new things out of old materials. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle! It’s easy to do!
