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.

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.

Countries and Cultures

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.
